Real Madrid are reportedly preparing backup plans in case negotiations with José Mourinho collapse.
The two surprise alternatives being considered are:
Cesc Fàbregas
Mark van Bommel
Madrid are evaluating different coaching profiles as uncertainty around the Mourinho situation continues.
Fàbregas is admired for his modern tactical ideas and rapid rise as a coach, while Van Bommel is viewed as a strong-character manager capable of bringing discipline and intensity.
Although Mourinho remains the priority target, Real Madrid are making sure they have backup options ready if the deal does not go through.
