Florentino is re-elected, and Real Madrid is about to announce four consecutive moves involving the coach and three key defenders.

Florentino was re-elected as Real Madrid president with no contest. After two straight trophy-less campaigns, he must now assemble a new roster and a new title-contending team. Following his renewed tenure, the club will soon unveil four consecutive official announcements regarding the manager and three defensive players.

• First: the new Real Madrid coach! José Mourinho is set to return to the Bernabéu as the club's new manager. In recent years, Mourinho's coaching record has been poor, leading to multiple sackings. Now, this top-tier platform of Real Madrid has once again offered him a chance—an excellent opportunity for the Special One to prove himself anew.
• Second: central defender renewal! The 33-year-old German center-back Antonio Rüdiger will extend his contract with Real Madrid until 2027. Rüdiger made 26 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring one goal.
• Third: a new center-back signing! Real Madrid has favored free transfers in recent years, and this summer they will sign Liverpool's 27-year-old French defender Ibrahima Konaté on a free transfer. Valued at €45 million by Transfermarkt, it's a welcome move for Real Madrid to once again secure a prime-age French international defender for zero transfer fee. Konaté made 51 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring two goals.
• Fourth: a new right-back arrival! Real Madrid will pay the €20 million release clause to sign Inter Milan's 30-year-old Dutch right-back Denzel Dumfries, who is valued at €25 million by Transfermarkt. Dumfries made 28 appearances across all competitions last season, contributing five goals and two assists.
