The Portuguese tactician is close to an agreement with the Lisbon heavyweights, who have launched a lucrative raid on the Premier League to secure their prime managerial target ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Real Madrid's pursuit of Jose Mourinho has become significantly more expensive after a key release clause in his Benfica contract expired. The Spanish giants had the opportunity to secure the Portuguese coach for around €6 million, but administrative delays linked to the club's presidential election mean the final cost could now rise to €15m.
Jose Mourinho is already drawing up a ruthless recruitment plan as he prepares to take the reins at Real Madrid for a second time. The Portuguese tactician has reportedly identified four key areas of the squad that require immediate investment to end the club's two-year trophy drought, informing the club hierarchy that any title charge must begin with upgrades at centre-back, right-back, left-back, and across the midfield.
The sensational return of Jose Mourinho to Real Madrid has sent shockwaves through the Bernabeu, but no player finds himself under a brighter spotlight than Vinicius Junior. After a season defined by brilliant goals and heated controversies, the Brazilian superstar must now navigate a working relationship with the man who recently questioned his conduct on the European stage.
Jose Mourinho has signed a three-year contract to make a sensational return as the head coach of Real Madrid until June 2029. The 63-year-old Portuguese tactician, who previously managed the Spanish giants between 2010 and 2013, was secured by club president Florentino Perez to revive the team following a second successive trophyless campaign.
Florentino Perez has confirmed he is considering two candidates to replace Alvaro Arbeloa at Real Madrid. The club president also addressed speculation over Jose Mourinho’s potential return while launching strong criticism at election rival Enrique Riquelme.

Fulham manager Marco Silva is on the verge of leaving the Premier League side to take over at Benfica. The Portuguese tactician has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to succeed Jose Mourinho, despite Fulham offering him a significantly more lucrative contract to stay at Craven Cottage. Silva's imminent departure marks the end of a successful spell in London.
Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet has backed the club's decision to appoint Xabi Alonso instead of pursuing a sensational return for Jose Mourinho. Despite Alonso's recent struggles in La Liga, Poyet believes the Spaniard's modern tactical approach and a lack of European football at Stamford Bridge will create the perfect environment for him to build a new identity.
Jose Mourinho has reached an agreement to return to Real Madrid on a three-year contract, but the move has been complicated by a significant financial development. While 'the Special One' is set for a sensational second stint at the Bernabeu, the timing of the deal has seen his release clause more than double.
Jose Mourinho is widely expected to be the next man in the Real Madrid dugout, but fans at the Bernabeu are still waiting for the official confirmation of his return. While a verbal agreement is reportedly in place, several institutional and financial hurdles have pushed the announcement back for the Special One's return.
