Jose Mourinho is set to return to Real Madrid in a sensational appointment, and he already has his eye on one of the top free agents available.
Reports suggest that departed Manchester City maestro Bernardo Silva is high on his summer wishlist at the Bernabeu, though he faces competition from fierce rivals Barcelona.
The 31‑year‑old, however, is in no rush to decide, instead focusing on Portugal’s 2026 World Cup campaign, where he is expected to play a major role.
Atletico Madrid have also been linked with a move for Silva, but Mourinho’s interest could complicate matters, with Florentino Perez determined to correct last season’s failures after already securing Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool and Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan.

Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on another summer signing, with Manchester City star Savinho in ‘advanced talks' over a move to north London.
The Daily Mail report that Spurs are discussing the structure of the deal, which is expected to include add‑ons and performance‑based bonuses.
It comes after Roberto De Zerbi’s side reignited their interest from last year, when the Brazil winger was close to joining before the City board blocked the move.
Savinho is expected to cost Tottenham around £60 million and would follow Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, who have both arrived on free transfers.

Newcastle United will target AS Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara if they fail to keep hold of Sandro Tonali during this summer’s transfer window.
That's according to the Telegraph, who claim the 22-year-old has featured ‘prominently' during recruitment meetings, though he is among several names under consideration.
The Senegal international has become a regular starter at Monaco, and given his age and potential, he is unlikely to come cheap.
It’s believed Camara will command a fee of around £45 million, with Premier League rivals Aston Villa and Spurs also linked in recent weeks.
