Real Madrid faces a substantial financial commitment to re-sign José Mourinho this summer, as confirmed by Portuguese club Benfica. Mourinho is widely expected to be appointed as the new Real Madrid coach soon, having been identified by Florentino Pérez as the ideal candidate to lead the club forward.
However, the Portuguese tactician’s return to the Bernabéu will not be inexpensive. Mourinho is currently under contract with Benfica, and his release clause was recently set at €15 million as of May 30th. Benfica’s management announced this confirmation, along with the news that Florentino Pérez’s campaign team has notified the club of their intention to trigger Mourinho’s exit clause should Pérez win the upcoming Real Madrid presidential elections.
