Real Madrid’s transfer policy set for major changes under Jose Mourinho – report Jose Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid is now only a matter of time. 13 years after previously saying goodbye to the club, the Portuguese tactician will take the reins of the team from Alvaro Arbeloa and aim to guide the Merengues out of their recent rut. As already confirmed , a full agreement has been reached between the two parties, with Mourinho set to sign a three-year contract until 2029.
Major shift in transfer policies Mourinho’s arrival is expected to usher in a lot of changes at Real Madrid, with journalist Rodra (h/t Madrid Zone ) reporting that there will be a marked shift in the club’s transfer policy as well.

In the past, Los Blancos would have a singular ‘ideal’ target in their mind and would go after that player. If the move fell through, they would opt against signing alternatives. However, now, Real Madrid are expected to adopt a more pragmatic transfer policy that directly addresses squad needs in weak positions, instead of only going for what they consider the ‘perfect targets’.
January transfer windows will matter In addition, the journalist reports that Real Madrid are expected to start treating the January window as a serious opportunity to bolster the squad.
