According to reports from El Chiringuito TV, renowned super-agent Jorge Mendes has offered Real Madrid several important names for the summer transfer window, including two Manchester City players, Ruben Dias and Matheus Nunes, as well as West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
The move comes as Real Madrid are planning a major squad overhaul for next season and are looking to strengthen their squad in several areas. Jorge Mendes, who enjoys an excellent relationship with the Madrid hierarchy, is believed to be playing an active role in presenting alternatives to the Spanish club.
At the same time, future Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, who is also managed by Mendes, is said to have given his approval to some of these profiles. The Portuguese strategist wants to build a more competitive and experienced squad, seeking reinforcements in defense, midfield and attack.
One of Mourinho’s long-term admirers is Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese midfielder is nearing the end of his Manchester City spell, but reports suggest he has chosen Atletico Madrid as his next destination, making a move to the city rivals very unlikely.
As for Ruben Dias, he is considered one of the best centre-backs in European football. The Manchester City defender would bring experience, personality and security to the Madrid side’s defence, who are looking for long-term alternatives after persistent injury problems in defence.
Another name on Real Madrid’s radar is Matheus Nunes. The Portuguese midfielder is seen as a player with characteristics suitable for Mourinho’s system, thanks to his physical ability, energy and tactical flexibility in midfield.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid continue their search for a new centre-back. The list of targets includes some of the most sought-after names in Europe, including Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck, Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori and Manchester City’s Josko Guardiola.
