Real Madrid paid Benfica's release clause for Mourinho

After winning the extraordinary election of the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez had to fulfill one of his pre-election promises — to appoint Jose Mourinho as head coach. However, it was necessary to fulfill the main condition of Lisbon Benfica in the form of payment of the clause for termination of the current contract in the amount of 15 million euros. For several weeks, the parties resolved all the legal aspects of this transfer, and finally, a few hours ago, the "Eagles" confirmed the fact of the payment of the required amount by the Spanish giant. Benfica's message also states that "Mourinho agreed to transfer" to Real Madrid, so the transfer has actually been fully confirmed.
