Mourinho flies to London amid interest from Real Madrid. So what is the story?

Will the “Special” return to Santiago Bernabeu?

Benfica coach Jose Mourinho is considered the most popular candidate to lead Real Madrid next season, replacing Alvaro Arbeloa, according to numerous media reports in recent days.

However, despite this, the ‘Special One’ headed to England’s capital London, in a move that surprised many given his links to coaching Royals in the new season.

In turn, the Portuguese newspaper “Apola” reported that Jose Mourinho went to London with his family to enjoy the day off.

“A few hours after a 2-2 draw with Sporting Braga yesterday, Monday, which put the team’s hopes of finishing second in the tournament in jeopardy, the Benfica coach left for the English capital.”

“Benfica” will return to training tomorrow, Wednesday, at the “Seyxal” training center, and Jose Mourinho will lead the training.

Benfica must begin preparations for next weekend’s away match against Estoril, which Liga has yet to decide.

Mourinho’s move to Real Madrid has become an imminent scenario, but the Portuguese coach has refused to clarify his decision, although he has indicated that circumstances have changed and he will not now sign a contract extension.

He explained. “The last week of the tournament is not the right time to think about the future and it is not the right time to think about contracts.”

Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, but is now seeking a second term at the Royal Castle.
