Romano sealed his report with his signature “Here We Go” confirmation, signaling that verbal agreements are in place between both parties, pending the formal signing of documents. The deal is structured as a two-year contract, with Mourinho set to travel to Madrid following Real Madrid‘s final La Liga match of the season against Athletic Bilbao.
Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg independently confirmed the report, citing direct negotiations between agent Jorge Mendes and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez over several days. Personal terms and contract length were not obstacles in those discussions.
“Jorge Mendes and Florentino Perez have been in direct talks for days over Jose Mourinho. Personal terms and contract length are not an issue. Mourinho is 100% ready to return to Real Madrid. If the final decision falls in his favour, then it will be Mourinho.” — Florian Plettenberg
Spanish media had already positioned Mourinho as the frontrunner last week. This latest confirmation from multiple credible sources makes his appointment to the Santiago Bernabéu bench near-certain. The Special One is set for a second chapter at the club where he won La Liga and Copa del Rey honors during his first stint.
