Row at Benfica! Spaniards deny Mourinho's Real Madrid remarks | OneFootball

Things are heating up in Spain. In the last few hours, the Spanish press has denied José Mourinho's statements at the pre-match press conference. Based on the claims made by the Spanish media, the Benfica coach was not entirely honest when he said he had not yet had any contact with Real Madrid.

According to the newspaper AS, the Special One has, in fact, already had direct contact with the Spanish club, which led to confirmation that he reached an agreement with Real Madrid. The same source goes further and claims that talks between the two parties have been going on for around three weeks.

"With Real Madrid, I haven’t even had any contact. Not with the president, nor with anyone important in the club’s structure," the Special One reportedly said at the press conference ahead of the match against Estoril. However, AS contradicts the Portuguese coach and guarantees that Benfica’s manager has been aware of everything happening at Los Blancos.

After the Spanish press claimed that the Special One was directly informed about what happened between Tchouaméni and Valverde, AS reveals what really surprised Benfica’s coach. According to the Spanish newspaper, Mourinho was not indifferent to Mbappé’s recent behavior, following his statements regarding Álvaro Arbeloa.

they indicate that there is a sealed agreement between José Mourinho and Real Madrid, with only the official announcement still pending. With this scenario close to becoming reality, it is most likely that the clash against Estoril will be the Special One’s last in charge of Benfica.
