Benfica have confirmed that Real Madrid have to pay €15million if they want their manager Jose Mourinho.
Madrid president, Florentino Perez, wants to bring back Mourinho to the Bernabeu as he seeks re-election this weekend.
But Benfica on Thursday, released a statement revealing that Perez had informed them of his “firm intention to recruit” Mourinho.
The Portuguese club however also made it clear that Mourinho’s release clause was worth €15million.
Previous media reports had suggested that it could cost the Spanish giants as little as three million euros.
Mourinho has already appeared in a video on Perez’s Instagram account affirming that he was ready to return to the club he first joined in 2010.
