Benfica says Real Madrid must pay a €15 million fee to sign coach Jose Mourinho. Multiple Nigerian outlets report that Benfica has confirmed the release terms, indicating Mourinho remains contracted and can only move to Real Madrid if the specified amount is paid. The reporting frames the situation around Real Madrid’s interest in bringing Mourinho back to the Bernabeu, with Florentino Perez linked to efforts to secure the coach. While the outlets agree on the figure and the existence of a Benfica-set condition for a transfer, they do not provide further details such as the timing of negotiations, whether Real Madrid has responded, or whether Mourinho has expressed preferences. The information therefore centers on Benfica’s stated requirement and Real Madrid’s potential pursuit of Mourinho, as opposed to confirmed next steps. The story remains dependent on whether Real Madrid proceeds with the reported €15 million payment and any additional contractual or regulatory processes involved in coaching changes.
