Real Madrid have opened talks with Ajax over the potential transfer of Jorthy Mokio, who currently plays as a defender. Negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Frankfurt, Newcastle and Man Utd remain in the background, but for now, Real Madrid are leading the way in ongoing talks. By bringing in Jorthy Mokio, Real Madrid would add another option to balance the squad and support throughout the season. Ajax continue to be linked with Mauro Couto, Troy Parrott and Bart van Rooij while Real Madrid are also rumoured to be tracking Carlos Espi, Marc Cucurella and Yan Diomande.
