Jose Mourinho to evaluate young players Gonzalo Garcia and Franco Mastantuono
Summary

Jose Mourinho, the new manager of Real Madrid, will assess young players Gonzalo Garcia and Franco Mastantuono before deciding their futures.

They face competition for their positions, with Garcia up against established stars like Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, while Mastantuono will contend with new signing Bernardo Silva. The decision on their futures will be made towards the end of July.
