Careful, Benfica! Arbeloa must answer the Mourinho narrative | OneFootball

Álvaro Arbeloa, present at the preview of the final clash against Barcelona, was asked about José Mourinho, at a time when the Special One’s return to the Real Madrid dugout is being considered for next season.

"Yes".

On the Special One’s side, there is a willingness to return to what was his home between 2010 and 2013, with the decision now in Florentino Pérez’s hands. Although there is still no formal offer, the Real Madrid president sees José Mourinho as the favourite to 'save' the club.

It should be recalled that Spanish newspaper 'As' reported this Friday that the Portuguese coach was even informed first-hand about the confrontation between Valverde and Tchouaméni, which gave further strength to the possibility of a move to Real Madrid in the 2026/27 season.

On the other hand, José Mourinho has already admitted that he is focused on the present, and more specifically on securing second place in the league. Benfica are therefore preparing to host Braga this Monday, 11 May, in a match from the 33rd round of Liga Portugal. The game against the side coached by Carlos Vicens will kick off at 20:15 at the Estádio da Luz.
