José Mourinho has a clear plan for Real Madrid's next transfer window, which opens in January 2027. The Portuguese manager wants to keep the squad that has been delivering positive results largely intact and is not planning a major overhaul during the winter market.

According to Iván Martín of Okdiario, Mourinho would only be willing to consider the departures of Ferland Mendy and Raúl Asencio, two players whose continued presence he does not view as essential for the second half of the season. His stance reflects a desire to preserve the current core of the squad and avoid moves that could disrupt the team's competitive balance.

Mendy and Asencio would therefore be the only two players Mourinho would be prepared to let go if suitable offers arrive in January. The French full-back and Spanish centre-back represent possible exceptions to a transfer strategy focused on continuity. However, this does not mean Real Madrid have decided to sell either player, nor are there any reports of advanced negotiations. The information suggests only that Mourinho would not oppose their departures if the club considers the terms of a potential deal acceptable.
