Jose Mourinho has returned to Benfica after 25 years. Now he has a quarter-century of experience as a top-level head coach.
According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, journalist Ekrem Konur claims that the Portuguese wants to acquire one of his former players for the Lisbon club. And a very famous one.
The talk is about Al-Ittihad striker Karim Benzema. The transfer is already possible in winter. Mourinho worked with the French footballer at Real Madrid from 2010-2013.
The striker could cost Benfica 5-7 million euros.
But that's not all. Mourinho also wants to strengthen the defense, where he sees Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy as an excellent choice.
