Endrick's New Mission: Mourinho Tests Brazilian in Fresh Attacking Role

Madrid, Spain:Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho is reportedly preparing for a major squad reshuffle, with plans to experiment with young Brazilian forward Endrick in multiple attacking roles while the club shifts its focus from signing new players to trimming the squad ahead of the new season.

According to reports, Mourinho wants to test Endrick not only as a central striker but also on the right wing during pre-season as he evaluates the teenager's versatility.

The Portuguese manager is also said to be unconvinced by the first season of highly rated youngster Franco Mastantuono and wants to assess him personally before making a final decision. Real Madrid are reportedly open to sending the Argentine on loan this summer if it benefits his development.

While most of Madrid's transfer business is believed to be complete, Mourinho is still hoping to strengthen the squad with the signing of a centre-back and a midfielder before the transfer window closes.

Club officials reportedly believe the priority is now reducing the size of the first-team squad rather than making additional high-profile signings.

Reports also suggest that Real Madrid could listen to offers for Raúl Asensio and Eduardo Camavinga if suitable bids arrive, although there are currently no indications that either player is seeking an exit from the Spanish giants.

Mourinho has reportedly met individually with every member of the squad, outlining their expected roles and his plans for the upcoming campaign. Those discussions could prove decisive as players weigh their futures during the remainder of the transfer window.
