José Mourinho has clarified his conditions for returning to manage Real Madrid next season, emphasizing that any agreement would only be possible with the signing of specific players capable of making a real difference to the team. The Portuguese coach is not considering a medium-term project or rebuilding the squad from scratch; he wants to compete for the Champions League title from day one.
The names of the players he has requested are very clear. The first is Harry Kane, the English striker whom Mourinho sees as the ideal solution to the team’s goal-scoring problem in crucial matches. The coach believes that Real Madrid creates many chances but lacks a true striker capable of consistently converting them into goals, especially under pressure. Kane would undoubtedly be the number 9 who leads the attack and allows the rest of the team to play with greater freedom. Despite the difficulty of the deal and its high price tag, Mourinho has been clear: the attempt is necessary.

The second player is Vitinha, the creative midfielder whom Mourinho sees as the mastermind Real Madrid is missing. The Portuguese coach believes the team needs a player capable of controlling the tempo of matches and organizing play, which is exactly what Vitinha can provide. His arrival would give Real Madrid greater control in midfield and make Mourinho’s style more effective than ever.
Mourinho did not ask for guarantees, but he did demand ambition and a readiness to compete for the Champions League from his first season. Now the decision rests with Real Madrid: either meet his demands and take the risk in pursuit of the top, or risk missing the opportunity to appoint a coach capable of completely transforming the team.
