Portuguese outlet “Record” reports that José Mourinho has contacted the management of his current employer, Benfica, to inform them he did not record a video wearing a Real Madrid kit. According to the coach, the video used in Florentino Pérez's campaign was generated using artificial intelligence (AI).
The short video, featuring Mourinho in a Real Madrid jersey saying only “Yes,” was circulated by Florentino Pérez's campaign. Its release coincided with his presidential opponent, Enrique Riquelme, appearing on the TV show 'El Hormiguero'.
Meanwhile, “Record” states that Real Madrid has already formally notified Benfica of their intention to pay the €15 million release clause for José Mourinho. The sum is expected to be transferred next week.
This intention was declared immediately after the video's publication, through which Florentino Pérez's campaign announced the acquisition of the Portuguese specialist should he win the elections.
If Florentino Pérez wins the presidential elections on Sunday, Mourinho will return to Real Madrid, a club he managed between 2010 and 2013. Ibrahima Konaté is also expected to join as a free agent, and the transfer of Denzel Dumfries from Inter for €20 million is anticipated to be finalized.
