The players reportedly include Raul Asencio, Rodrygo, Fran Garcia, Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga, and Franco Mastantuono.
The report claims Mourinho has urged club executives to find suitable destinations for the players before the start of the upcoming season, signaling a potential squad overhaul at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Several of the players named have struggled for consistent playing time in recent months, fueling speculation about their futures at the club.
While no official announcements have been made regarding departures, the reported list indicates significant changes could be on the horizon.
Real Madrid are also believed to be active in the transfer market.
Reports suggest the club is pursuing defensive reinforcements, with Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate linked with a move to Madrid.
The Spanish giants have also reportedly shown strong interest in Denzel Dumfries, with claims that they are prepared to trigger the defender’s release clause to secure his services from Inter Milan.
Neither Real Madrid nor Mourinho has publicly commented on the reports, leaving uncertainty over the club’s transfer strategy and managerial situation heading into the new campaign.
