Normally, José Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid would have already been completed. Casa Blanca would have paid the €7 million corresponding to the amount of the Special One’s release clause and Florentino Pérez would be in the process of presenting the successor to Alvaro Arbeloa. But by calling presidential elections, Pérez changed the situation.
The Merengue president must now wait two weeks, if he is re-elected, in order to be able to appoint his new coach. Enough to change the situation with Mourinho. A.S. revealed yesterday that the Portuguese coach’s €7 million release clause would no longer be valid. Today, Record confirms the information and even adds that this amount will increase to €15 million. If Real Madrid really want to snatch Mourinho from Benfica, they will have to pay twice as much.
