Mourinho eyes Galatasaray's Sanchez for Real Madrid, 20m euro price
Mourinho wants Galatasaray defender Davinson Sanchez for Real Madrid, according to Turkish analyst Zeki Uzundurukan on Libero TV. He said Mourinho told Real Madrid to find out Sanchez’s terms, with Galatasaray’s asking price around 20 million euros, though the club prefers to keep its defensive partnership intact.
Why does this matter? Mourinho, appointed Real Madrid manager last month, is rebuilding the defence and has already added Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella and Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate. Securing Sanchez would add another experienced centre-back, impacting Real Madrid’s squad depth and potentially affecting Galatasaray’s defensive stability if the transfer proceeds.
What should you know? Galatasaray is resisting the sale to preserve its defensive unit, and Como (presumably Sanchez’s current club?) is asking around 20m euros. The transfer remains speculative; no official bid reported. Fans should watch for any formal offer or Galatasaray’s stance as the summer window progresses. Will Real Madrid meet the asking price and convince Galatasaray to sell, or will they look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements?
