Mourinho sets conditions for Real Madrid return

Despite denying talks last week, Jose Mourinho is reportedly in initial discussions with Real Madrid regarding a return to the Santiago Bernabeu, presenting specific conditions.

Mourinho communicated his terms via video call, requesting a two-year contract to avoid a short-term fix. He demands full control over squad selection and coaching staff, excluding interference from President Florentino Perez's advisors. afnews.co.za

The Portuguese manager aims to manage medical staff directly and control preseason tours to avoid international travel. Additionally, he insists on the authority to trim the squad, potentially removing up to seven players he deems unfit for his standards.
