Mourinho intends to make a decision regarding Real Madrid's Victor Valdepenas only after observing him play.

It is reported that Bolonia is targeting Víctor Valdepeñas, a 19-year-old Spanish defender from the Real Madrid academy, to reinforce their squad this summer. Valdepeñas debuted last season with the Real Madrid first team. Real Madrid is open to a possible departure for Valdepeñas, but would want to retain 50% of his rights and include buy-back options. The Spain U19 international has a contract until 2029 and his current market value is €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Several other clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Eintracht Frankfurt, have also been linked with the player.
