Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has come in like a man on a mission and has already worked on a number of deals to bolster the squad ahead of the new season.
Los Blancos have already signed both Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries as free agents and are on the verge of completing a deal for Marc Cucurella.
Judging by how Mourinho is operating, he has identified defence as an area he wants to reinforce, and it looks like he is not done.
One player Madrid wanted to sign was Manchester City star Josko Gvardiol. However, it was reported that the English club were in talks with him to extend his contract.
Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, City are increasingly confident of securing Gvardiol’s agreement on a new contract, with improved financial terms already presented to the player.
