Madrid, May 25: Real Madrid is preparing for the anticipated appointment of Jose Mourinho, although the process is slightly delayed due to the upcoming presidential elections.
Mourinho’s arrival is expected to have significant implications, including the potential return of one of football’s most influential agents to the Real Madrid fold.
Mendes Back in the Picture
According to Diario AS (h/t RM4Arab), Jorge Mendes is set to play a more prominent role in the daily operations at Real Madrid, a change closely tied to Mourinho’s expected arrival.
Mendes was instrumental in facilitating the Mourinho deal. Although he had distanced himself from the club’s inner workings for a time, he was never completely disengaged. His relationship with Mourinho, while less intense than before, was crucial in negotiating the agreement between the coach and Florentino Perez. Mendes was the first to propose the idea of signing Mourinho, making him an essential figure in finalizing the deal.
More Influence to Come
With Mourinho’s return, Mendes is anticipated to have a greater involvement in Real Madrid’s transfer activities.
Bernardo Silva is among the first players linked to Mendes and offered to Real Madrid. However, this potential transfer currently seems to be on hold, as Real Madrid has not shown active interest at this time.
As the club undergoes a major rebuild under a new manager, having one of football’s most well-connected agents closely aligned with the team could prove crucial in the upcoming months.
