Benfica thwarts Real Madrid’s efforts to kidnap Jose Mourinho

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez lives in a state of anxiety, and this always drives him to search for a man he trusts in his ability to undermine the stability of competitors and restore balance at any cost.

Perez believes that the solution lies in Jose Mourinho regaining control again, but the situation is completely different this time.

According to Portuguese media, Benfica is not ready to give up on Jose Mourinho easily and has begun taking steps to ensure his stay at the club.

Benfica plans to offer Jose Mourinho a new contract that will extend beyond his current contract, which expires in 2027.

Jose Mourinho’s new contract with Benfica may extend until 2028 or 2029, which confirms the Portuguese club’s appreciation for their veteran coach, who has become the subject of Real Madrid’s interest.

Benfica is aware of Real Madrid’s growing interest and wants to move early to ensure Mourinho stays, as club president Rui Costa held talks with him this week to focus on preparations for next season.

It is noteworthy that there is a clause in Jose Mourinho’s current contract that allows him to leave for 3 million euros, but within a short period of only 10 days after the end of the season.

If this period expires, any club wishing to sign Jose Mourinho will have to negotiate directly with Benfica and will likely have to pay a much higher amount.
