Season overview
Pre-season
Real Madrid commenced their summer transfer activity on May 9, signing Turkish central midfielder Nuri Şahin for six seasons from Borussia Dortmund on a transfer reported to be worth €10 million.[2] Versatile Turkish midfielder Hamit Altıntop was signed for four seasons on a free transfer from Bayern Munich on May 19,[3] but was discovered to have a prolapsed disc on June 23,[4] undergoing a successful operation four days later.[5] The club announced on May 21 that veteran Polish goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek's contract would not be renewed, allowing him to leave on a free transfer.[6] Former Castilla winger José Callejón was brought back after three seasons at Espanyol for a reported fee of €5 million on May 23.[7]
Real Madrid fired Director General Jorge Valdano on May 25 after a strained relationship over sporting decisions between him and manager José Mourinho.[8] President Florentino Pérez supported Mourinho's request to "be able to manage the team with autonomy"[9] in response to tensions during the previous season's winter transfer window and a public feud regarding Karim Benzema following a 1–1 draw against Almería.[10] Valdano was reported to be paid €3.5 million to release him from the remaining two years on his contract[10] and was replaced by José Ángel Sánchez.[11] Mourinho subsequently became head of football operations in addition to his role as head coach[12] with former player and special adviser to Pérez Zinedine Zidane as the new director of football for the first team.[13]
Real Madrid continued their transfer activity on June 27, signing teenage French central defender Raphaël Varane from Lens for six seasons on a reported €10 million transfer.[14] On July 1, Royston Drenthe and David Mateos returned from their loan spells at Hércules[15] and AEK Athens,[16] respectively, while Emmanuel Adebayor returned to Manchester City following a six-month loan.[17] Mateos was loaned out ten days later to Real Zaragoza with Zaragoza having an option to purchase the player permanently at the end of the season.[18] Portuguese wingback Fábio Coentrão transferred from Benfica for €30 million[19] on July 5 and signed a six-year contract.[20]
Real Madrid traveled to the UCLA campus in Los Angeles, California on July 11 to prepare for friendlies against Los Angeles Galaxy, Guadalajara, and Philadelphia Union in the World Football Challenge.[21] Castilla players Jesús Fernández, Tomás Mejías, Jorge Casado, Nacho Fernández, Jesé Rodríguez, and Joselu accompanied the first team to the United States.[22] On July 12, the contracts of Pepe and Sergio Ramos were extended to 2016 and 2017, respectively,[23] and Nuri Şahin suffered a Grade I sprain on the internal lateral ligament in his left knee during the first day of training,[24] causing him to miss the three friendlies in the United States.[25] On July 17, defender Ezequiel Garay transferred to Benfica for an undisclosed fee.[26] Real Madrid's pre-season began with a 4–1 victory over MLS team Los Angeles Galaxy,[27] with goals from Callejón, Joselu, Ronaldo, and Benzema.[28] Four days later in San Diego against Mexican Primera División side Guadalajara, Ronaldo scored a second half hat-trick[29] over a nine-minute span for a 3–0 victory.[30] Real Madrid completed the World Football Challenge provisionally atop the table following a 2–1 win over Philadelphia Union,[31] with early goals from Callejón and Mesut Özil.[32] They officially won the tournament via goal differential when Manchester United defeated Barcelona 2–1 on July 30.[33]
Real Madrid started the European leg of their pre-season world tour with a triumph over newly promoted Bundesliga team Hertha Berlin on July 27 in front of a sold out Olympiastadion.[35] Patrick Ebert opened the scoring for Hertha, but Ronaldo equalized from a long-range free kick and Benzema added two goals for a 3–1 victory.[36] Three days later Real Madrid defeated Championship side Leicester City 2–1 to win the npower Challenge Cup.[37] Callejón scored the opening goal and Benzema converted a rebound following a shot off the goalpost by Marcelo before Lloyd Dyer added a late consolation goal.
José Mourinho's five-game touchline ban in the UEFA Champions League due to accusatory statements following the first leg of the previous season's Champions League semi-final was partially upheld following an appeal to UEFA on July 29.[38] He was originally suspended for five matches, with the final game suspended for a probational period of three years, and fined €50,000[39] for accusing Barcelona of receiving favorable treatment from UEFA and for severely criticizing German referee Wolfgang Stark.[40] After serving the first game of his suspension in the second leg, Mourinho had the remaining four matches of his ban reduced to a two-game suspension with a potential two further games over a three-year probationary period.[41] The original fine to Mourinho was upheld along with a €20,000 fine assessed to Real Madrid for crowd trouble.[38]
Real Madrid traveled to Guangzhou, China directly from Leicester on August 1.[42] The club signed a letter of intent the following day with Guangzhou Evergrande involving club cooperation, potential player exchanges, and the opening of the largest football academy in China.[43] On August 3, Real Madrid defeated Chinese Super League leaders Guangzhou Evergrande 7–1,[44][45] with goals from Sami Khedira, Özil, Benzema twice, Ronaldo, Jesé, and Ángel di María.[46]
