José Mourinho has reportedly been given unprecedented influence over Real Madrid’s transfer strategy as the Spanish giants prepare for a new chapter under the Portuguese manager.
Reports suggest Mourinho was already shaping the club’s summer plans before his appointment was officially announced. A high-level meeting in Madrid brought together the experienced coach, director general José Ángel Sánchez, chief scout Juni Calafat, and renowned agent Jorge Mendes to discuss the club’s future.

Unlike previous managers, who often had limited input on transfer decisions, Mourinho is said to be playing a central role in identifying transfer targets and overseeing a significant shift in the club’s recruitment policy.
The move signals a clear change in direction at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Real Madrid placing greater trust in Mourinho’s experience as they look to build a squad capable of returning to the summit of European football.
