Benfica's price tag for José Mourinho is 15 million euros, approximately equivalent to 165 million Swedish kronor, it is reported.
When Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez was re-elected recently, he made it clear that 63-year-old José Mourinho would return as Real Madrid coach - a position he held from 2010 to 2013.
"We are proud to have the best players in the world, and proud to welcome back one of the best coaches in the world, a 'madridista' like José Mourinho," Pérez told the football club's website.
Earlier in the day, Real Madrid announced that interim coach Álvaro Arbeloa had left the job after four months in charge.
