According to Diario Sport, Real Madrid will no longer attempt to sign a midfield playmaker.
Mourinho's arrival changed the team's mood, but the fallout from Rodri's transfer and Barcelona's involvement dampened the hype surrounding Vinicius' contract extension and Diomande's arrival. Diomande did not travel with the team to Hungary. Both moves were finalized on the day the Ballon d'Or winner's transfer saga publicly took a turn. This situation sparked in-depth discussions both within and outside the club.
Valdebebas believes that this summer's signings have addressed most of Real Madrid's pressing needs. Rodri's arrival could have completed the transfer plan, but with that path blocked, Mourinho will look for similar players within the existing squad. As things stand, Real Madrid will not attempt to sign a midfield playmaker.
The only position the club is currently willing to strengthen is center-back, provided Raul Asensio leaves. His muscle injury during preseason complicates the process, as it opens the door for other players to join. This situation has been recurring throughout the transfer window. Players like Camavinga refusing to leave have also prevented the team from bringing in equivalent reinforcements for key positions.
