Mourinho Targets Wesley França as First Goal for Real Madrid After His Anticipated Return

José Mourinho is preparing to return to Real Madrid after 13 years since leaving the club, and Italian press reports indicate that Brazilian full-back Wesley França, a Roma player, will be one of his first targets in the transfer market.

The official announcement of Mourinho taking over Real Madrid is expected after the final round of the Spanish league following the match against Athletic Bilbao, with his contract with the royal club extending for two seasons.

According to the Italian newspaper 'Calciomercato,' Mourinho has already begun to set his technical priorities, placing Wesley França among the top names considered to strengthen the team, especially after the outstanding performance the player has shown since joining Roma from Flamengo last summer.

The same source indicated that the Portuguese coach is impressed with the technical abilities of the Brazilian full-back, making him one of the strong options on Real Madrid's table in the upcoming period.

On the other hand, Roma insists on keeping Wesley within its ranks, considering him one of the essential pillars in the team's project, and does not plan to let him go easily.

However, the report clarified that the entry of Real Madrid and Mourinho into the negotiations could complicate the Italian club's position, especially amid the ongoing uncertainty of Roma's European future.

Wesley's future is expected to be one of the prominent files in the upcoming summer transfer market, whether Roma decides to keep him or opens the door for his departure.
