According to journalist Jose Felix Diaz via Ruben Martin’s YouTube channel, Real Madrid will not make any further signings before the summer transfer window closes on Tuesday, 1 September, at midnight. Despite manager Jose Mourinho seeking additions in midfield and central defense, Los Blancos are shutting down incoming business after a busy window featuring six major acquisitions and a coaching change.
Real Madrid Closes Transfer Window Without Late Additions
Real Madrid head into the final hours of the summer transfer window with their squad locked in. According to Jose Felix Diaz, no new players will arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu before the midnight deadline. Mourinho wanted reinforcements in the center of the pitch and at left-footed center-back, but those targets ultimately slipped away.
The club pursued Rodri as their primary midfield target, but the player opted to join rival club FC Barcelona instead. Meanwhile, Mourinho identified Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni as his preferred choice for the backline, but that potential transfer did not materialize. The club also added 19-year-old midfielder Sergio Martinez from Racing Santander, though he is slated for the Castilla setup initially.
Six Major Summer Signings Shape the Squad
Despite missing out on late-window targets, Real Madrid completed an eventful summer under the coaching staff. The club brought in six marquee players to overhaul the roster, starting with World Cup winner Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konate, Bernardo Silva, Denzel Dumfries, and Yan Diomande. Diomande stands out as the most expensive signing in club history, with the Ivorian winger arriving for a reported €140 million including add-ons at just 19 years of age.

Yan Diomande became the most expensive player in Real Madrid history at €140 million, including add-ons, despite being only 19 years old.
Potential Late Exits: Camavinga and Asencio
While incoming transfers are finished, outgoing moves remain a possibility before the window shuts. According to Jose Felix Diaz, Real Madrid are open to departures. The club has attempted to offload Eduardo Camavinga amid heavy Premier League interest, though the player has so far refused to leave.
Academy product Raul Asencio has also been made available for a departure after falling outside Mourinho’s core project plans. Whether either player departs before the deadline depends on late developments, but the squad composition for the immediate future is otherwise set.
