Jose Mourinho has stated that he has had no contact with Real Madrid officials. The Portuguese manager dismissed the reports during a press conference ahead of Benfica's match against GD Estoril Praia. He emphasized that he has not held negotiations with the club president or any other officials. This is reported by Goal.com .
Mourinho stated that he has not yet made a decision regarding his future after the current season. Although Benfica has offered him a contract extension, the coach said he is not ready for negotiations yet. He announced that he will make his final decision on Sunday, following the last match of the championship.
The 63-year-old tactician is seen as the primary candidate to replace Álvaro Arbeloa at Real Madrid. Arbeloa is expected to be dismissed due to the team's inconsistent performances. Although there is no official confirmation of an agreement, Mourinho's release clause in his Benfica contract is 3 million euros.
Disciplinary issues within the Real Madrid squad, particularly the conflict between Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde, highlight the tension in the team. Mourinho is expected to unite the star-studded squad with his firm hand. Didier Deschamps and Sebastian Hoeneß are also being considered for the position.
