If, as it seems increasingly likely, businessman Florentino Pérez is re-elected as president of Real Madrid, Portuguese coach José Mourinho could leave Benfica and make a sensational return to Madrid to take charge of the club’s first team once again.
Should The Special One take over at the Santiago Bernabéu, he will immediately face several important decisions.

One of the most delicate concerns the future of Brahim Díaz, a player who has yet to fully establish himself as an undisputed starter for Los Blancos.
Juventus Ready to Move for Brahim Díaz
According to Tuttosport, if Mourinho cannot guarantee Brahim Díaz a significant role in the squad, the Moroccan international could seriously consider leaving the Spanish giants in search of more regular playing time.
In that scenario, Juventus would reportedly be more than willing to open the door for the talented attacking midfielder.
However, completing such a deal would not be straightforward. Díaz remains under contract with Real Madrid until 2027, and the Spanish side are unlikely to sanction a simple loan move for a player they still highly value.
Any negotiations would therefore likely require a substantial financial agreement between the two European heavyweights.
Gonzalo García Also on Juventus Radar
The report also suggests that discussions between Real Madrid and Juventus may not stop with Brahim Díaz. Young striker Gonzalo García is another name being closely monitored by the Bianconeri hierarchy.

Unlike Brahim, García currently plays only a secondary role within Madrid’s setup, and Mourinho’s possible arrival is not expected to dramatically improve his situation.
Because of that, a loan transfer could represent a realistic and beneficial solution for all parties involved as Juventus continue searching for promising young talent capable of strengthening the squad for the future.
