José Mourinho approved the signings of Ibrahima Konaté and Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid. The coach gave a positive signal to the two defensive reinforcements. The information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano this Wednesday.
The Portuguese, who should take command of the team soon, appreciates the profile of both players. Konaté, defender, reaches the end of his contract with Liverpool. Dumfries, right-back, has a release clause of 20 million euros with Inter from Milão.
Real Madrid plans defense reinforcements
The Spanish club is looking to strengthen the defensive sector for next season. Fontes indicate that negotiations are progressing and could be concluded after the club’s presidential elections. Dumfries has already had a verbal agreement reached on personal terms.
- Konaté must sign for four years
- Dumfries is released via clause of 20 million euros
- Real Madrid could look for another defender if the opportunity arises
Mourinho follows the market closely. The coach has already signaled the need for adjustments at the rear. Real Madrid still monitors other names, but prioritizes the two already approved targets.
Official announcements are expected in the coming weeks. The moves are part of the squad’s reformulation for the 2026/27 season. Dumfries, 30 years old, brings experience from Serie A. Konaté, younger, arrives with starting status at big clubs.
