The news has been confirmed by several major media, including Marca, CPEP and The Athletic, while the official announcement from the Madridlen club is expected to take place very soon.

According to reports, Real Madrid will pay Benfita about 3m euros to cut Mourinho's contract with the Portuguese club.

Real Madrid also values Mourinho for its authority and influence in the dressing room, especially after recent tensions and reports of the creation of several separate groups within the team.

The madrile club is now expected to be very active in the summer crossing term, where it aims to make some reinforcements, but also to remove some of the current players.
