José Mourinho’s future continues to generate plenty of speculation, but so far, Spain’s Real Madrid have still made no formal contact nor any concrete approach to secure the return of the coach who is currently in charge of Benfica.

According to Sky Sports, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is seriously considering that possibility, but no decision has yet been made, keeping the process at an internal evaluation stage and without any official steps toward negotiations.

On Mourinho’s side, the situation is also not one of immediate decisions. The manager remains under contract with Benfica until 2027, although there is a clause that allows termination in the days following the end of the season, leaving several options open for his near future.

Meanwhile, stating that his “next goal is to take Benfica to the Champions League”, he has for now avoided a direct response to the Spanish interest and reinforced his focus on the end of the season.

Even so, the 'Special One' remains on the table in the neighboring country’s capital, at a time when the Spanish club is going through instability and preparing changes for next summer, a scenario that also promises to have an impact at the Luz should the interest materialize.
