After the "El Clasico" defeat, summer plans and the head coach issue have come to the fore again at the Spanish football club "Real Madrid".
Idman.Biz reports that according to Guillermo Rai, a journalist for "The Athletic", sources with internal information about the Madrid club's plans stated that player sales are essential for new transfers to take place. Real Madrid considers this period a transitional phase.
The journalist writes that Vinicius Junior's reaction to being substituted during "El Clasico" during Xabi Alonso's time was a turning point in terms of the club's internal atmosphere and the new project. Sources close to the coaching staff and leading players in the last season note that the team has become difficult to manage and that clashes of character and ego have increased. Sky Sports also published information about the increase in tension at Real Madrid under the signatures of Guillermo Rai and Mario Cortegana.

The Jose Mourinho option remains on the agenda regarding the head coach position. According to Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Benfica has agreed to the Portuguese specialist's departure after May 17. If all conditions are agreed between the parties, Mourinho may sign a contract with Real Madrid. It is reported that the Madrid club will pay Benfica a total of six million euros (12 million AZN) for this transfer.
