Real Madrid has moved to reinforce its squad for the 2026/27 campaign following the hiring of Jose Mourinho as coach. The club signed Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, and Ibrahima Konate after two seasons without a major trophy. Cucurella, a left-back from Chelsea, was acquired for approximately 55 million euros. Mourinho reportedly expressed his eagerness to work with Cucurella, who is expected to bring intensity and energy to the team. Bernardo Silva, arriving from Manchester City, is anticipated to improve midfield control and build-up play, offering experience and versatility. Konate, a center-back from Liverpool, will strengthen the defense, an area where Real Madrid has faced challenges due to injuries. Konate's form last season was reportedly impacted by personal tragedies. Real Madrid is also reportedly pursuing other players, including Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, and Bayern Munich's Michael Olise. The club also made a 150 million euro offer for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, which was reportedly more to fulfill a campaign pledge and disrupt rivals' plans. More transfers are expected as Mourinho identifies further targets for the upcoming season.
Cristiano Ronaldo's performance in Portugal's 1-1 draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo has sparked debate, with critics questioning his continued role in the starting lineup. Despite being a peripheral figure in the match, Portugal coach Roberto Martinez kept the 41-year-old captain on the field for the entire game. Ronaldo's 25 touches were his fewest in a major tournament match for Portugal when playing the full game, contrasting sharply with Lionel Messi's recent hat-trick for Argentina. Martinez defended his decision, stating that Ronaldo's experience and goal-scoring ability are crucial when the team needs goals. However, former France striker Thierry Henry accused Ronaldo of being selfish after he intercepted a pass intended for Bruno Fernandes. Opposition midfielder Ngal鈥檃yel Mukau commented that Ronaldo is "no longer the same player as before and that he鈥檚 older now." Pundits, including former Premier League striker Chris Sutton, criticized Martinez for not substituting Ronaldo, suggesting the coach was afraid to drop him. Alternatives like Goncalo Ramos are available, yet it is anticipated Ronaldo will start Portugal's next match against Uzbekistan.
