Real Madrid's Proposed Contract for Mourinho Revealed

Negotiations between Real Madrid and Benfica manager Jose Mourinho have reportedly begun, according to Fabrizio Romano, with fellow transfer expert Nicolo Schira specifying the proposed contract length.

Reports indicate that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has prepared a three-year deal for "The Special One." Should the Portuguese coach agree to return to the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid would pay a compensation fee of €3 million. This sum would go to Benfica, who are still hoping to retain their manager. If Mourinho does depart, his compatriot Marco Silva, currently at Fulham, could be a potential replacement at the Lisbon giants.
