Real Madrid is preparing for a new revolution. The Madrid club is very close to bringing José Mourinho back to the bench, after activating the 15 million euro release clause in the Portuguese coach's contract with Benfica.

The "Special One" is expected to return to the "Santiago Bernabéu" after 13 years, with the mission of returning Real to trophies after two seasons without major successes. Meanwhile, Benfica has reacted immediately by appointing Marco Silva as Mourinho's successor.

But Florentino Pérez's moves don't stop there. The Madrid president has also set his sights on the transfer market, presenting a €150 million bid for Argentine striker Julián Álvarez.

However, Atlético Madrid immediately rejected the offer, citing the player's release clause, which amounts to a staggering 500 million euros.

Despite the interest of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the "colchonero" club remains determined to keep the Argentine striker, who is expected to be one of the most prominent names of the 2026 World Cup.

So, while Mourinho is very close to returning to Madrid, the battle for Julián Álvarez has just begun.
