What happened: In a new Men in Blazers podcast, Fabrizio Romano reported that José Mourinho signed with Real Madrid two weeks ago and has already approved two signings. Romano said the Konaté and Dumfries moves are done, while Antonio Rüdiger has signed a new deal and Dani Ceballos is set to leave. A decision on Nico Páz is described as the next item on the agenda.

Why it matters: The activity signals an aggressive reshape of Real Madrid's squad under Mourinho's freshly approved authority, locking in defensive reinforcements while trimming the existing midfield. Rüdiger's renewal stabilizes the back line just as Konaté and Dumfries arrive, and Ceballos's exit clears both wages and a rotation spot. Romano framed the window as far from finished, with more business expected.

What to watch: Watch for the club's decision on Nico Páz and any further signings, with Romano signaling 'plenty more to do' before the window closes.
