Mourinho wants to reduce Real Madrid squad size ahead of new season

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho aims to trim his squad to 20 players, excluding long-term injuries, as the summer transfer window remains open. Currently, he has 26 players at his disposal and has identified three players to cut. The team's €225 million offseason spending included six new signings, but Mourinho hopes to maintain a smaller, versatile lineup to avoid frustrated squad members. One potential departure is Eduardo Camavinga, should a satisfactory offer arrive; however, he prefers to stay. Additionally, Raul Asencio's recent injury complicates potential sales involving him.
