Real Madrid activates the release clause in Mourinho’s contract with Benfica

The Spanish club Real Madrid has officially decided that veteran Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho will return to lead the team again, after the royal club paid the value of the release clause in his current contract.

Sky Sports said that Real Madrid has just paid the clause in which Jose Mourinho’s contract with Benfica was terminated, so that he is now free to sign his contract with the Merengue.

She continued: “The financial value of breaking the contract amounted to only 3 million euros, which is the amount paid by Real Madrid to the management of the Portuguese club Benfica, thereby ending the speculation that linked the club to a number of international coaching names during the recent period.”

With the payment of this amount, there is no longer any legal or contractual obstacle linking the Portuguese technician to Benfica, as Mourinho has officially packed his bags in preparation for the start of a new era at the Santiago Bernabeu, a state that the Spanish and international fans are anticipating with great passion.

According to what was published by the global Sky Sports network, Real Madrid’s management moved with lightning speed to complete all procedures, out of a desire to arrange the team’s papers early to prepare for the new season, and to restore the fighting spirit and strict personality that characterized the “Special One” in his first term with the Merengue.
