Mourinho is of course now considered the widespread favourite to replace Álvaro Arbeloa on the bench at Real Madrid this summer.

Desired chiefly for his no-nonsense nature and respect across the football world, ‘Mou’ remains held in the highest possible regard by Blancos president Florentino Pérez.

A reunion is therefore under discussion between the parties, with talks expected to reach a positive conclusion over the coming weeks.

And one member of the dressing room at Valdebebas who would seemingly be more than content with such a development is the aforementioned Vinícius Jr.

As per a report from The Athletic:

‘Sources close to Vinicius Junior said Mourinho’s potential arrival would not be seen as a problem by the player.’

With ‘Vini’ considered one of the leading figures in Real Madrid’s ranks, this stance would go a long way towards easing Mourinho’s welcome period back in Spain’s capital.
