Jose Mourinho has reportedly set two key conditions for a possible return to Real Madrid ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Portuguese manager is being strongly linked with a sensational comeback to the Spanish giants following a disappointing period in which the club reportedly went two seasons without winning major silverware.
According to reports, Mourinho wants substantial influence over the club’s recruitment process and transfer activities if he is to take charge again at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Rather than focusing solely on individual transfer targets, the former Real Madrid coach reportedly wants the authority to determine which positions within the squad require strengthening.
Mourinho is believed to feel that the current squad lacks balance in several important areas and wants a greater role in shaping the team according to his tactical vision.
The second condition reportedly centres on the autonomy of the coaching staff and the internal structure of the dressing room.
According to reports, Mourinho insists that the hierarchy and authority of the technical crew must be fully respected without interference from external figures within the club.
For the Portuguese manager, the first-team environment must reflect his personal philosophy and leadership style to maintain stability and discipline within the squad.
