Mourinho backs Valverde to bounce back as new captain
Despite the criticism, Real Madrid believe Valverde can reclaim a leading role.
The club view him as an important leader for the squad's future, particularly following the departure of Dani Carvajal, which is expected to make Valverde the new first captain.
Mourinho shares that assessment, believing the poor season does not erase Valverde's recent record at the Bernabeu and that a fresh environment under new management can restore him to his best.
With no desire to leave the club and the backing of the new coaching staff, Valverde is expected to begin his ninth season in the white shirt. The challenge now is converting that trust into performances, and leaving behind a year defined by controversy.

Ivan Zamorano — who scored 101 goals in 173 appearances for Real Madrid between 1992 and 1996 — was equally emphatic and went further, sketching out the attack he would build around the Bayern winger.
'I would buy Olise tomorrow. I would play Olise, Mbappe, Vinicius — and bring Enzo Fernandez into midfield. We already have a right-back and a centre-back. With that, we would have a superb team.'
Claude Makelele, who played for Real Madrid between 2000 and 2003, spoke to ComeOn and revealed he had already raised the subject directly with club president Florentino Perez.
'Michael Olise at Real Madrid? I would be completely in favour. I had the opportunity to speak with President Florentino, and I told him that if there is money to spend on one player, it is him. Olise gives me back the pleasure of watching football, the feeling we had as children: talent, freedom, quality, effectiveness. When he is not on the pitch, you feel his absence. When he is, you sense that at any moment, like Messi, he can do something nobody saw coming.'
Bringing Olise to the Bernabeu would require Real Madrid to shatter Neymar's world record transfer fee of £188m, set when he joined PSG from Barcelona in 2017.
Reports have suggested Real Madrid are prepared to table a bid in the region of £189m, which would edge past that figure. Bayern have so far dismissed all speculation, insisting Olise is not available.
The player himself holds a preference for Real Madrid over PSG, who are also interested. A right flank spot at the Bernabeu is available following Dani Carvajal's departure, and Olise would slot in alongside Mbappe, his France captain, at club level. Whether the deal can be done remains another matter entirely.

Fulham have reportedly submitted a formal loan request to secure Real Madrid midfielder Franco Mastantuono for the upcoming campaign.
The West London club are eager to wrap up a deal swiftly as manager Alvaro Arbeloa looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new Premier League season.
The newly appointed boss is keen to reunite with the talented 18-year-old playmaker after previously working with him in the Spanish capital.
Despite Los Blancos' rumoured keenness for the youngster to play in a continental club competition, Fulham are reportedly making it clear they want to give Mastantuono the platform to develop with regular game time in the Premier League.
The midfielder's development was evident in his 35 outings last season but needs further experience to continue his progress.
The Cottagers believe that a temporary move to England is the best route for his development, though Fulham may face competition from other clubs.
Ultimately, the decision rests with Mourinho, who will assess Mastantuono’s readiness for a senior Madrid role from the start of the current week.

It is understood that Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho still wants to add another centre-back to his squad this summer, though, with Benfica's Tomas Araujo and Sporting Lisbon's Goncalo Inacio thought to be on the club's radar.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid were recently contacted by intermediaries who revealed that Laporte could be signed for €25m (£21m) this summer.
However, the report claims that Los Blancos have rejected the opportunity, as they want to bring in young central defender.
