Former Real Madrid manager José Mourinho is edging closer to a dramatic return to the Santiago Bernabéu, with talks now understood to be at an advanced stage. Sources close to the situation believe the deal is nearing completion and could be sealed very soon.
The latest twist came after transfer expert Fabrizio Romano appeared on a podcast and sent Real Madrid fans into excitement with a strong message. During the discussion, Romano told supporters to “get ready for Mourinho,” hinting that the Portuguese coach is now seriously in line for the job.
The clip was later shared on Instagram by Live Here We Go and quickly spread across social media. Fans reacted immediately as speculation around Mourinho’s future intensified.
Romano was also asked when an official announcement could arrive. His response was direct and brief: “Any time.”
That answer has only added to growing belief that Real Madrid are preparing to complete the appointment soon. While the club has not made any official statement yet, confidence is increasing that Mourinho could soon begin a second spell in charge of the Spanish giants.
Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013. During his first stint, he won the La Liga title, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup. He was widely praised for building one of the most competitive Madrid sides of that era and for challenging Pep Guardiola’s dominant Barcelona team.
