Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly requested the signings of Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise and Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni during the summer transfer window, according to reports in Spain. This comes as transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealed Eduardo Camavinga’s desire to remain at the Estadio Bernabeu despite interest from Manchester United.
Madrid have already secured four new players as president Florentino Perez aims to restore the club to trophy-winning contention, having gone two seasons without major silverware. The appointment of Mourinho is central to these ambitions, with the Portuguese manager looking to quickly reshape the squad.
The club has already brought in Denzel Dumfries, Bernardo Silva, Marc Cucurella, and Ibrahima Konate, but Mourinho is seeking further reinforcements. El Debate reports that the manager wants a central defender, a midfielder, and specifically identified Olise as a key target.
While Madrid’s interest in Olise is well known, Bayern Munich are reportedly unwilling to sell the French international. Any potential deal would likely command a significant fee, with estimates reaching €225million (£191.3m, $257.2m). Journalist Tomas Gonzalez-Martin of El Debate also claims Mourinho is keen on reuniting with Italy international Alessandro Bastoni, who previously played under him at Inter Milan. Inter are reportedly open to selling Bastoni for around €75m (£63.8m, $85.7m).
Gonzalez-Martin noted on social media that Mourinho is also considering potential departures to facilitate these signings, suggesting either Endrick or Gonzalo could be moved on if a new striker arrives. Meanwhile, Camavinga’s future has been the subject of speculation, particularly following a disrupted 2025/26 season hampered by injury and inconsistent form. Despite interest from Manchester United, Romano stated that Camavinga is committed to staying at Madrid and fighting for his place in the team. Romano clarified that any move for Camavinga would be contingent on the player actively seeking an exit, making a deal difficult to complete.
