Paulo Futre: "Mourinho turned down Real's offer when Zidane left"

Former Porto and Atletico Madrid striker Paulo Futre has revealed that Roma boss Jose Mourinho could take over at Real Madrid in the summer of 2021.

“Jose won the Conference League last year. He believed in the Roma project from the moment he signed a contract with the club. He even rejected the offer of Real Madrid. When Zidane left, Jose had already agreed a deal with Roma, but could still lead Real Madrid. Someone from the management of "Cream" called him, but he thought it was better to join "Roma" and start a new project," Futre said in an interview with SerieANews.
