Portuguese manager José Mourinho is reportedly edging closer to a dramatic return to Real Madrid, with negotiations said to have entered the final stages.
According to reports, discussions between Mourinho and the Spanish giants have progressed positively in recent days, with the experienced coach reportedly ready to accept the club’s conditions for a potential comeback.
Final approval still pending
The move is not yet fully completed, as Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is expected to give the final approval after the club’s upcoming internal electoral process.
Sources indicate that while the agreement is close, a few formalities still remain before the deal can be officially sealed.
Benfica talks reportedly paused
The report also claims that ongoing contract discussions between Mourinho and Benfica have been placed on hold as attention shifts toward the possibility of a return to Madrid.
Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, winning major trophies including the La Liga title and the Copa del Rey during his time at the club.
Fans await official confirmation
Although excitement is growing among football fans, neither Real Madrid nor Mourinho has officially confirmed the move.
If completed, the return would mark one of the biggest managerial stories in European football ahead of the new season.
