There has been a bit of back and forth about whether Jose Mourinho will return to Real Madrid and bring the club back to its old heights. – From being very relevant for a few weeks, both himself and the bosses of Benfica denied that he was going anywhere. Now it is clearly relevant again.

The Portuguese manager, who has two Champions League titles on his CV, has not won the most prestigious trophy with Real Madrid, something he feels he is missing.

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has in talks with José Mourinho heard he is not negotiable terms

The meeting is said to have taken place yesterday via video conference. There, the Portuguese coach is said to have presented his conditions for a return to Real Madrid.

Florentino Pérez and José Mourinho have already had talks about the Portuguese coach’s possible return to the Real Madrid bench. This is reported by Esdiario and Sergio Valentín, journalist at Esradio.

According to the reports, the meeting took place via video conference and lasted for about an hour. Jorge Mendes, Mourinho’s representative, was also present – but reportedly did not take part in the discussion itself.

“Has neither accepted nor declined”

The same sources claim that Mourinho has neither rejected the possibility of a return nor given a definitive “yes”. However, the Portuguese manager is said to have put forward a number of non-negotiable demands before agreeing to take over the team.

According to Esdiario, Florentino Pérez is expected to give Mourinho an answer next week.

“The demands are not financial”

The specific conditions Mourinho asked for have not been disclosed. However, Esdiario reports that they are not of a financial nature. Instead, the demands will be focused on “sporting, medical, organizational and disciplinary matters within the club”, according to the medium.

Thus, it looks like a sensational return for “The Special One” to Madrid is still possible – if the club agrees to Mourinho’s terms.
