he was in Seixal on Sunday morning for around 20 minutes, having been 'caught' on his way out by 'El Chiringuito', this after stressing in the press conference following the win over Estoril (3-1) that he would only head to the Benfica Campus this Monday.

As has been the case in recent days, the Spanish press once again questioned Mourinho about his future, but this time got no response: "Mister, are you going to Real Madrid?", can be heard in the video shared by 'El Chiringuito', which also adds that the 'Special One' left the venue in the company of Pedro Machado, one of his assistants.

It should be noted that, if the Special One leaves, Benfica will look exclusively to Marco Silva. According to certain domestic rumours, the current Fulham manager already has a red-and-white contract waiting for him, lasting two or three years, whether directly or through an extension of the deal.

Although there is still no concrete information, it is said that the negotiations have been progressing on solid ground, which could perhaps be a good sign for Benfica. After spells at Estoril and Sporting, Marco Silva built a successful career at Fulham, where he established himself as one of the most respected managers in English football.

Last Saturday, after the draw against Wolves (1-1), the former Sporting man was once again asked about his future.
