Jose Mourinho hurt by Arbeloa-Mbappe spat, “Didn’t even want to look at” Benfica contract offer
Jose Mourinho hurt by Arbeloa-Mbappe spat, “Didn’t even want to look at” Benfica contract offer Benfica manager Jose Mourinho has again postponed talk about his future, amid heavy speculation that he will be the next Real Madrid manager. Mourinho admitted on Friday before final Benfica’s clash of the season against Estoril that he had not responded to a contract offer from the Eagles. Mourinho has a year left on his deal at the Estadio da Luz, and President Rui Costa has reportedly been looking to extend his deal, but Mourinho told Diario AS that he had not looked at the offer on the table.
“Yes, I received a contract renewal offer from Benfica on Wednesday. The offer was given to my agent, but I didn’t want to see it, find out about it, or analyze it. I’ll only do that starting Sunday, I’d say Sunday.
” ‘Next week will be important for my future’ – Mourinho Last weekend, Mourinho had declared that he would discuss his future on Monday. Despite widespread reporting to the contrary, he continues to deny any talks with Real Madrid. “They never told me they had an offer to show me.
Not the president, nor any important person in the organisation. But if they had told me, I would have answered exactly the same way. Next week will be important for me, for my future, and also for Benfica.
When the season ends, Benfica has to start thinking about the next one. But, according to the contract and the agreement I signed when I arrived, we have this period of a few days to see what happens and make a decision. ” “Benfica is much bigger than me; there’s no comparison.
