José Mourinho may decide Benfica future on 24 May | OneFootball

José Mourinho’s Benfica future could be settled on 24 May, a date seen as decisive as links to Real Madrid resurface.

According to Glorioso 1904, Mourinho has one season left on his contract but a clause allows an early exit, a scenario gaining traction amid growing interest from Spain and possible changes at leading European clubs.

Three scenarios have been outlined: staying at Benfica, where plans for next season are said to be in place; activating the clause to end the deal; or moving to Real Madrid if the club makes a concrete approach.

The timing falls immediately after the Portuguese league finishes and coincides with the end of other European seasons, which could ease movement in the coaching market and speed decisions at top clubs.

Newcastle have also entered the race for the coach, adding another serious suitor and increasing pressure around whether he continues at Benfica.
