I think Modric would be an ok signing, but if we have Sahin, we don't really need him.

Marca:

Mourinho has been following the Euros and above all taking a look at which players could strengthen his team. He's also had time to perfect his game plan using the players he already has at his disposal. When doing this, he's looking at how to improve Mesut Özil, a player who he believes has room for improvement and more to offer the team. He even sees him as a future Ballon d'Or.

With only one goal at Euro 2012, and from the penalty spot, part of his homework will be to to take a good look at his offensive capabilities and improve his goalscoring statistics. Mourinho wants him to be more decisive in front of goal. He has the skill to do it, but maybe he is too focused on passing, not altogether a bad thing.

Özil only scored 6 goals last season. In his first season he scored 10. Nobody doubts his ambitions, but he needs to be more prolific in front of goal. Mourinho isn't the only person to ask it of him. At Euro 2012, his national coach, Joachim Löw also told him.

Where nobody can criticise him is with the number of assists he provides. He was the best in La Liga with a total of 24.

Marca:


Álvaro Morata is Real Madrid’s first signing for 2012-13. José Mourinho has decided that the reserve team player will take one of the 25 first team spots for the season just started. He will therefore no longer be playing in ‘El Castilla’, Real MadridŽs reserve team.

Pending official confirmation, the decision has already been made. Morata, who will turn 20 in October, will be a fully fledged first squad player. Following his second year in ‘El Castilla’, both the club directors and the technical team led by Mourinho feel he is ready to be promoted to the senior team as one of them.

One of the main reasons for Morata’s promotion is his versatility. This season he has played on the wing in midfield. He struggled to adapt, but in the end completed a great season. His 17 goals prove his worth. He already knows Mou’s preference for all-round players, and Morata has shown that he can be just that. He can play as a striker, which is what he truly is, plus an attacking midfielder or second forward and a left winger.

Mou has always shown special regard for the youth player. Two summers ago, at just 17, he took him to Los Angeles where he began to see the raw materials of a future first team player. Months later he made his debut in the first team.

Luka Modric is very close to Real Madrid. In fact, the Croatian media presumed his signing was a given yesterday, placing the deal at 35 million euros. The first to publish the news was the general information website www.24sata.hr, which also released a statement from a source close to the player who wished to remain anonymous. "Everything has been resolved satisfactorily and Luka and Real Madrid have come to an agreement. The only slight problem is Tottenham's stance, but that will be resolved; in fact very soon", the source revealed.

The 26-year-old has already announced that he will leave Spurs this summer. The player confirmed it with Herzegovina.info, though he failed to specify his final destination for the 2012-13 season. On 2 July AS published that Madrid had an agreement with the player, but Spurs were asking for 50 million euros with the possibility of Sahin becoming part of the deal being mentioned. This was later denied by the Turkish player.

Money.

It was confirmed in Croatia yesterday that the deal would be worth 35 million euros, but Daniel Levy, the chairman of the London club, hadn't agreed on the sum; he wants a more lucrative deal. Chelsea and Manchester United are Madrid's two competitors to secure the player's signature, though Levy doesn't want to strengthen another Premier League rival and has rejected their offers. This is not the case with PSG, as Levy is attracted to the 40 million euros offered by the French club. The problem is Modric doesn't want to play in France, he's already got his mind set on playing for Real Madrid and he's edging closer and closer...

It's second time unlucky for Maicon and Real Madrid. Just like in 2010, the Brazilian full-back has been left hanging in his attempt to seal a move to the Spanish capital, while Mourinho has once again failed to land his favourite right-back. The club, which was never convinced by the deal, has eventually won out in its tug-of-war with the Portuguese manager.

The Whites have now completely ruled out the arrival of the Brazilian full-back, who is instead expected to join Chelsea. Maicon had already agreed terms with the London club and, barring any major surprises, will put pen to paper in the coming days.

Despite Mourinho pulling out all the stops to convince the club of the need to sign Maicon, on this occasion the 'Special One' has failed in his mission, with the club preferring to bring in a younger player with greater future potential and on lower wages. Real Madrid's scouting team will thus be going back to the drawing board in its search for a reliable alternative to compete with Arbeloa for the right-back berth.

Madrid has once again decided to let the Maicon ship sail, as all sorts of doubts have surfaced about the Brazilian since he was last under Mourinho's command. His reputation for being a difficult character, his age (he turns 31 on 26th July) and his hefty wages (€5 million a year) were all stumbling blocks that led the club to turn a deaf ear to the many reasons Mourinho gave for signing the Inter full-back.
