Uproar at Benfica! Spaniards deny Mourinho's Real Madrid claims | OneFootball

Things are heating up in Spain. In the last few hours, the Spanish press has contradicted José Mourinho's statements in his pre-match press conference. Based on the claims made by the Spaniards, the Benfica coach was not entirely honest when he said he had not yet had any contact with Real Madrid.

According to the newspaper AS, the Special One has, in fact, already had direct contact with the Spanish club, which led to confirmation that he reached an agreement with Real Madrid. The same source goes further and states that talks between the two parties have been ongoing for around three weeks.

"With Real Madrid, I haven't even had any contact. Not with the president, nor with any important person in the structure," the Special One reportedly said at the press conference ahead of the match against Estoril. However, AS denies the Portuguese coach's claim and guarantees that Benfica's manager has been aware of everything happening at Los Blancos.

After the Spanish press claimed that the Special One was directly informed about what happened between Tchouaméni and Valverde, AS reveals what really surprised the Benfica coach. According to the Spanish newspaper, Mourinho was not indifferent to Mbappé's recent attitude, following his statements regarding Álvaro Arbeloa.

they point to a done deal between José Mourinho and Real Madrid, with only the official announcement still pending. With this scenario close to becoming reality, the most likely outcome is that the clash against Estoril will be the Special One's last in charge of Benfica.
