Benfica coach Jose Mourinho has not denied the news that he will take over at Real Madrid.

"There is a 99 percent chance that I will stay at Benfica because I have a valid contract. There is also an offer to extend with the Eagles, which I have not seen yet, but my agent says it is an excellent offer," Mourinho said, then turned to speculation about taking over the biggest club.

"I haven't heard anything from Real Madrid yet, but none of us are naive, and negotiations are ongoing between my agent Jorge Mendes and the president and management of Real. I will personally speak to Real Madrid next week and then make a decision. So far, the contacts have only been between Real Madrid and Mendes," Mourinho does not hide.

He was already at the helm of Real Madrid, winning the Spanish league title with the "merengues".

"My agent told me that a serious option with Real Madrid could arise - I don't deny that. But at the moment I don't have a signed contract with Real Madrid. I was happy every day at Benfica. Tonight I told the players that I am really happy with them every day," Mourinho said in a MadridZone post.
