A trio of big-name Real Madrid stars on Monday linked up with the rest of the club’s first-team squad for pre-season training in Spain’s capital.
The trio in question? Brahim Díaz, summer signing Bernardo Silva, and the transfer-linked Vinícius Jr.
Real Madrid are of course currently in the thick of preparations for the 2026/27 campaign. Under the watch of new head coach José Mourinho, Los Blancos’ stars have in turn been put through their paces in intense sessions at Valdebebas for several weeks now.
In the case of the aforementioned Brahim, Bernardo and Vinícius, none had yet been spotted in pre-season, owing to their extended vacations following the World Cup.
But as alluded to above, early this week, Mourinho’s ranks were reinforced by the return of all three.
The respective arrivals of midfielder Bernardo and Vinícius marked particularly significant ones, with the former having joined his new teammates in training for the very first time.
Wide-man Vinícius, meanwhile, continues to be heavily linked with a move away from La Liga, amid an ongoing push for his signature on the part of Premier League champions Arsenal.
