The Real Madrid boss is keen to bolster his ranks without breaking the bank in January and Shawcross has been tipped as his No 1 defensive target.
The 23-year-old is highly regarded on the continent and has also been linked with Juventus, while Madrid also fear a battle with Manchester United and Liverpool for his services.
The former United youth player was handed a debut England call-up by Fabio Capello in March but was an unused substitute for the match against Egypt.
Madrid-based newspaper AS says Mourinho is an admirer of Shawcross’s physical style, which made headlines when his tackle seriously injured Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey last season.
Mourinho is also keen on £25million-rated Ajax hot shot Luis Suarez, who has also attracted interest from Barcelona, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

Just why? Why would Real Madrid degrade themselves with English "Talent"?

Re: Ryan Shawcross to Real Madrid?
Who else would Madrid buy? Some hot shot who demands high wages and costs a lot from Portugal or something and is absolutely terrible.
Ramsey challenge wasn't even that bad.....it just happens.
At least he's not Pepe

Your having a go at English talent, when we have some class players coming through (I'd be very tempted to include Shawcross in that category- I've said I'd have him back at OT more than once), and well... Polish football...

I am aware of the poor conditions of Polish Football. I do not need to be reminded and I don't see how this is relevant to the topic.

Those games are good. I just prefer watching football in smaller leagues such as Serbian League or Polish Extrakalasa than leagues such as Premier League or Spanish Primera.
