Jose Mourinho Is Not Clear In Rome, Signal To Newcastle Or Return To Madrid?

Jose Mourinho has not agreed with the offer of a contract extension of AS Roma (Instagram/@josemourinho).

JAKARTA - Jose Mourinho is in tough talks with AS Roma owners and presidents, Dan Friedkin, regarding his future at the Olimpico.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that negotiations between Mourinho and AS Roma have not yet been reached.

The Portuguese coach's contract expires at the end of the season. So far, the offer for an extension agreement has not been approved by Mou.

The reason is that the Giallorossi management only offers an extension for a season, while Mourinho wants a two-year contract or until 2025 in Rome.

In more detail, Roma officials chose an extension a season with a clause associated with the team's results.

The problem is, the 60-year-old coach doesn't want the offer. Moreover, he is willing to reduce his salary compared to his golden years.

That's what makes negotiations tough. Giallorossi officials are in a dilemma considering Roma supporters are asking for the coach's contract extension immediately.

Mourinho has been loved by the public Olimpico. He managed to bring the team to win the Europa Conference League or the Europa Conference League in 2022.

Moreover, Roma's journey in Serie A 2023/2024 is on a great track. Currently, they are in fourth place in the standings and are looking at the target of returning to the Champions League next season.

The complicated situation was then exploited by Newcastle United. The Magpis has the potential to tease Mou to return to England if Eddie Howe's current leadership does not reach the target.

Nah, kalau Newcastle yang memberi penawaran, ada kans Mourinho tertarik. The Magpies pasti berani memenuhi segala keinginan pelatih Portugal itu, apalagi soal salary.

AS Roma must be busy. Not to mention, Mourinho has been linked to return to Real Madrid after Carlo Ancelotti's issue of leaving next season.
