According to AS, the current transfer market is out of control, with prices far exceeding reasonable valuations, which has also affected Real Madrid's transfer decisions.

Mourinho is satisfied with Real Madrid's current squad and team construction, as he has stated in all conversations. However, it is natural that he wants reinforcements. Mourinho knows that any player he wants to sign now will cost over €100 million. The reality is that Real Madrid and other top clubs face a €100 million deficit before negotiations even begin when the market officially opens.

Once again, Manchester City is the team that has shattered the price barrier for top players, though there is growing skepticism about transfers between Premier League clubs. Many inflated prices are illogical. The Premier League has completely skyrocketed the entire market, with Manchester City signing English international Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for €150 million, pushing the transfer threshold for similar midfielders to an exaggerated and market-detached level.

Real Madrid is considering reinforcing midfield at the manager's request, but also knows that any such operation will far exceed €100 million, unless they pursue emerging young talents, which does not appear to be Mourinho's preferred route. The math is clear: either sign a player for over €100 million or sell players for similar amounts. Valverde, Tchouaméni, or Camavinga are names mentioned as potential departures. Real Madrid's dealings around Nico Paz and Como indicate the Argentine player's valuation has reached €120 million. The calculation is straightforward: Italian clubs have already paid €60 million for half of the Argentine international's registration rights.

Recently, Mourinho has been gathering and expanding information, communicating with all involved parties—namely, all Real Madrid players. These conversations will ultimately shape decisions: what to do, how to manage certain squad players, and whether departures matching this financial level are possible.

West Ham has valued Matheus Fernandes at €90 million; Chelsea's asking price for Enzo is €130 million; Lille's valuation of Carlos Baleba has reached €90 million; Vitinha and João Neves currently have no set asking price; Félix Nmecha is a recently mentioned name, but Borussia Dortmund currently has no intention of selling. Real Madrid's midfield is still considered as strong as any other top club's, but this summer the club is seriously listening to the manager's input. Adam Wharton and Rodri have also been mentioned.
