Mourinho is betting on new signings and will leave Arda Gรผler on the bench, according to Antonio Romero.
Mourinhoย ‘s arrivalย at Real Madrid as the new manager is already generating debateย . In this case, it’s about the possible starting lineup he might field, considering the new signings. Some players could see their place lost to other teammates.
Antonio Romero, a commentator on Cadena SER, has been very clear about Real Madrid’s plans . “Mourinho is going to start Konatรฉ and Dumfries, and Bernardo Silva will take Arda Gรผler’s place,” he stated. Therefore, the starting eleven next season will see significant changes.
The new signings are going to be starters
The arrival of three reinforcements for the defense will lead to an almost complete overhaul of the back line. Cucurella on the left, Konatรฉ in the center, and Dumfries on the right are expected to start . This leaves รlvaro Carreras, Huijsen, and Alexander-Arnold as the ones who will lose their places.
Although Antonio Romero warns that โwe have to get used to the fact that there are many matches, Mourinho will have a large squad to choose from .โ This could mean that Rรผdiger starts at some point, or even Trent and Huijsen if they perform well in training.
Bernardo Silva takes Gรผler’s place
Real Madrid was looking for a midfielder capable of controlling the ball and orchestrating the play. โI think the playmaker has arrived; Bernardo Silva is coming to play alongside the midfielder and organize the attack,โ Romero noted. For the commentator, it’s the signing they needed.
But there’s a catch: “I want to see Gรผler play under Mourinho, but the version I’ve seen this season isn’t good enough to be a starter .” The club has faith in the Turk’s quality and believes he has a long career ahead of him. But the manager is going to opt for Bernardo instead.
New signings will play a major role.
Unlike previous seasons, Real Madrid’s signings have all been at Mourinho’s request . The manager has sought experienced players who can perform from day one. This will likely lead him to favor them over other players like Huijsen, Gรผler, or Mastantuono.
Mourinho values โโexperience if it can contribute on the pitch. He will prioritize it over developing young players, though he will still focus on that aspect, but in training rather than in the most important matches.
