If Perez is successful, Mourinho is expected to sign a contract with the club and begin making transfer plans.

According to reports, super agent Jorge Mendes has already offered Mourinho the opportunity to sign Manchester City centre-back Ruben Dias.

Dias, who has three years remaining on his contract with City, is reportedly open to exploring other options after Pep Guardiola's departure.

Real Madrid struggled with defensive issues during the 2025/26 season, and signing a top defender like Dias could help address these problems.
