There are growing indications that José Mourinho could return to Real Madrid next season. The current Benfica coach is reportedly the preferred choice of Florentino Pérez, although any official announcement is expected to wait until both the Portuguese season and Real Madrid’s electoral process are completed.

The timeline of the operation will reportedly depend on whether opposition candidates formally challenge Florentino Pérez in the elections. Despite that uncertainty, reports continue to suggest that Mourinho remains the leading candidate to take charge at the Bernabéu.

According to journalist Látigo Serrano, Mourinho has already spoken with several important figures inside the Real Madrid dressing room. The report specifically mentions Thibaut Courtois, with whom Mourinho previously worked at Chelsea, as well as Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé.

The same report claims that Mourinho sees Vinícius as a central figure in his potential project at Real Madrid. The Portuguese coach reportedly values the Brazilian’s influence and leadership inside the dressing room and believes his commitment would help strengthen the unity of the squad.

According to the information, Mourinho wants Vinícius to play a key role both on and off the pitch if he returns to Madrid.

Speculation surrounding Mourinho’s comeback continues to grow, although official confirmation is still pending while the club’s institutional process unfolds.
