Internal reports reaching Softfootball suggest Real Madrid have started making moves to potentially bring back José Mourinho, with direct talks reportedly already taking place.
Reports indicate that SL Benfica are desperate to keep Mourinho at the club and want him to stay at all costs, but they are also aware of the ongoing discussions involving Real Madrid.
Softfootball understands that the entire situation will depend on how strongly Madrid decide to push for the Portuguese manager in the coming weeks.
It is also believed that final decisions regarding the managerial situation will ultimately rest with Florentino Pérez, who remains the key authority behind major sporting decisions at Real Madrid.
Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup during his time at the club.
Analysts believes Mourinho’s strong personality, experience, and history with Madrid could make this one of the biggest managerial stories if negotiations progress further.
