Benfica set price for José Mourinho, await Real Madrid decision | OneFootball

Benfica have already defined their position regarding the future of José Mourinho. After the deadline for a termination clause set at 7 million euros expired, the Eagles’ SAD started demanding 15 million from Real Madrid to release the Special One, an amount Benfica’s officials do not intend to negotiate.

Florentino Pérez remains determined to bring Mourinho back to the Santiago Bernabéu, but is only expected to make a formal move after the presidential elections scheduled for 7 June. The Real Madrid president believes the situation is under control and that the deal will be concluded without difficulties, especially after the contacts made through Jorge Mendes.

At the Luz, the scenario is seen as practically inevitable. The possibility of José Mourinho heading to Real Madrid is viewed internally as a process that is well on track, with only a possible victory for Enrique Riquelme in the elections able to change the outcome of the situation.

Even so, the Portuguese coach’s stance has caused some discomfort among Benfica’s directors. Although Rui Costa presented a renewal proposal, Mourinho has still not officially communicated what his decision will be regarding his future, even though he has been present at Seixal on several occasions since the end of the season.

, especially because Benfica’s officials were expecting clarification before the end of the deadline initially set for the reduced clause.
