Alert, Benfica! Spaniards insist Mourinho knows of Real Madrid chaos | OneFootball

The name of José Mourinho continues to be strongly linked with Real Madrid and, in recent hours, more developments have emerged on the matter. Apparently, still as Benfica manager, the Spanish press insists that the Special One has been directly informed about the controversies unfolding in the dressing room of the Merengue club.

According to AS, José Mourinho has been kept up to date on the heated conflict that took place in a Real Madrid training session, where Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni were involved in a fierce argument that ended with the Uruguayan international going to hospital to treat a head injury.

Based on what the Spanish source reported, the Special One has been directly informed of this situation and, apparently, the version reaching the Benfica manager indicates that Valverde is seen as the main culprit for the falling-out with the French international, following several accusations against the player.

"The fact that he was informed, both on Wednesday and Thursday, about the hostilities that occurred between the two players, suggests a possible move to the Santiago Bernabéu next", wrote AS on the subject. It should be noted that the players in question were punished by Real Madrid and fined 500,000 euros.

This is just another episode in the saga linking José Mourinho with the Real Madrid job. In recent hours, Fabrizio Romano, a specialist in transfer matters, stated that the club has already opened direct talks with the Special One and his agent, Jorge Mendes. Moreover, the Setúbal-born coach is under contract with Benfica until 2027.
