Jose Mourinho
Benfica’s coach will not be announced in Madrid for now. List of reinforcements has no names – it has positions.
It won’t be made official for now, but there is agreement between José Mourinho and Real Madrid, to sign a contract valid until 2029.
The advance is that this agreement is closed but, as there are elections at Real Madrid (something that hasn’t happened in 20 years), we have to wait for the dispute between Florentino Pérez and Enrique Riquelme. The agreement is closed with the current president, Florentino Pérez.
Today, Tuesday, would be the deadline for terminating the contract at Benfica for 7 million euros. Since it won’t happen, the Real Madrid will pay almost 15 million to the Luz club.
Mourinho’s successor in Lisbon must be Marco Silva.
Even without working in Madrid, the Portuguese coach has already sent a report to Real, about reinforcements for the new season.
There are no names, at least for now. There are indications about the positions that should be reinforced, says .
Mourinho wants to sign two central defenders, one or two full-backs and two midfielders (a striker and a creative midfielder). That is, they will be between 4 and 6 reinforcements for Real Madrid.
The same newspaper writes that José Mourinho will sign a contract with Real Madrid valid for two seasons; it will be three seasons if you are national champion in one of the first two years.
Even if you don’t go to Madrid, AS continues, José Mourinho has already decided that he will not continue at Benfica. Will analyze other proposals.
