Turin, 18 May (LaPresse) – José Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid is imminent. This is according to the Spanish press, which reports that a meeting is scheduled for this afternoon between the current Benfica manager and president Rui Costa, during which the Special One will personally inform the former Milan star of his intention not to continue his spell in Lisbon and of his desire to accept the offer from Florentino Pérez, president of the “Blancos”. Mou is tied to Benfica by a contract running until 2027, but the contract includes a €7 million release clause, a sum that Real Madrid will pay once his return to the Santiago Bernabéu is made official. The announcement could come on Sunday 24 May, as the deadline for nominations for the Real Madrid presidency is set for midnight on Saturday. The Spanish club will not be able to make any official announcement before Sunday when, if no other candidates come forward, Florentino Perez will be confirmed as the head of the Casablanca.
