Real Madrid’s two targets

The names of Rodri Hernández and Michael Olise have once again been linked with Los Blancos, although each potential deal addresses different needs within the squad and is currently at a different stage.

According to information shared by journalist Roberto Gómez on Radio MARCA’s La Tribu, one of them would be a direct request from José Mourinho, while the club is already working on the other.

Mourinho reportedly requested the signing of Rodri

The Portuguese coach’s main target to strengthen the midfield would be Rodri, who recently emerged as one of Spain’s most important players during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to the published information, Mourinho reportedly communicated directly to Real Madrid’s board his desire to have the Spanish midfielder in his squad.

However, the club’s management would still be analyzing several factors before moving forward with the deal.

Among the issues being evaluated are the player’s age and physical condition, although his recent performances continue to establish him as one of the most influential players in his position.

Olise, a move that may already be underway

While Mourinho has reportedly placed Rodri among his top priorities, Michael Olise is currently believed to be the player receiving a significant amount of attention from the Real Madrid hierarchy.

The French attacker recently completed an outstanding campaign with his national team and has established himself as one of the most attractive attacking players in European soccer.

According to Roberto Gómez, Real Madrid is already working on the possibility of signing Olise, although no details are currently known regarding potential talks, financial figures, or a formal offer.

A third name remains hidden

The information surrounding Rodri and Olise was accompanied by an additional detail that could generate even more excitement around Real Madrid’s transfer plans.

Roberto Gómez claimed that there may also be the possibility of a signing considered “Galáctico,” although he avoided revealing the identity of the player who could be involved in that operation.

For now, no further details are known about this mysterious target, but the possibility of a third signing leaves the door open for Real Madrid to spring a surprise in the coming weeks.

Two targets, two different needs

Rodri and Michael Olise represent two different paths within Los Blancos’ sporting plans.

The Spaniard would bring experience, control, and leadership to the midfield, while the Frenchman would provide flair, creativity, and long-term potential in attack.

Real Madrid will have to decide which move can become a reality and which one will depend on market conditions, but both names already appear to be important pieces in a roadmap that could produce several major moves.
