Mourinho’s Ambitious Reunion with Benzema at Benfica

Jose Mourinho is poised for a remarkable comeback with Benfica.

Having recently taken over as head coach at Benfica, Mourinho aims to make a significant impact and has set his sights on bringing former Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema to the club during the January transfer window.

Benzema’s Situation at Al-Ittihad

Currently contracted with Al-Ittihad, Benzema’s agreement is set to conclude at the end of the season. Reports indicate that he might be available for a transfer in January for a fee between €6 million and €7 million.

Benzema’s Performance

The 37-year-old has caught Mourinho’s attention, as the coach believes Benzema would thrive in Portugal’s Liga. Last season, Benzema played 35 matches across all competitions for Al-Ittihad, logging over 3,000 minutes of action and achieving an impressive tally of 26 goals along with 9 assists.
