Mourinho, currently managing Benfica, remains under contract but is open to a return under the right conditions.
The talks come amid mounting pressure on Madrid’s current setup following an underwhelming season.
His agent Jorge Mendes was also reportedly present during the discussions as an observer.
Mourinho Demands Full Control for Return
Mourinho is said to have outlined strict conditions, prioritising control over sporting decisions rather than financial incentives.
He reportedly wants full authority over squad discipline, structural changes, and a revamp of the club’s medical department.
These demands reflect lessons from his previous spell between 2010 and 2013, which ended amid internal conflicts.
During that time, he led Real Madrid to major honours, including La Liga and domestic cup success, reports Goal.
The potential return has divided fans, with some praising his winning mentality and others concerned about past dressing room tensions.
With alternatives like Unai Emery also considered, the final decision now rests with Real Madrid Perez.
