Florentino Perez may have perfectly timed Mourinho’s Real Madrid comeback

Real Madrid could be approaching a decisive moment in their managerial plans for next season after fresh reports revealed a key detail in Jose Mourinho’s contract with Benfica.

According to AS, the Portuguese coach currently has a clause in his Benfica contract that would allow him to leave the club for €3 million.

However, that clause reportedly expires on May 26, creating a very specific timeframe that could prove important for Real Madrid’s plans.

Mourinho remains leading candidate

For several weeks now, Mourinho has continued to appear as one of the strongest candidates to become Real Madrid’s next manager.

The report claims that the timing of several developments within the club could align perfectly with the activation period of Mourinho’s release clause.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is likely to call elections within the next two days.

If no opposing candidate steps forward, Perez would officially remain president on May 24.
