According to a report on Cope's radio program "El Partidazo de COPE" on April 29, reporter Siro López talked about the rumors between Mourinho and Real Madrid in the program. He said that it was Mourinho who took the initiative to recommend him to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid did not think that he was one of the candidates at the moment.
It was Siro López who said that the man who claimed to recommend himself to Real Madrid was Mourinho. Then, the person who most expects this news to be spread will probably be Mourinho's representative team, or else his agent. In this way, the source of the news can be explained clearly.
The host of the show, Juanma Castaño, then asked: "Is it still Mendes?".
Siro Lopez confirmed, saying: "Yes, it's still Mendes. Maybe Mendes will expect "The Athletic" to publish such news. Since Mendes is also the one who knows best that Mourinho has called Florentino and recommended himself to coach Real Madrid, they may think: 'Then create some noise first and see if anyone takes the bait in the end.' However, the information I got is…".
However, Ciro Lopez emphasized, "Listen to me, one thing is that this matter seems reasonable. Even from my perspective, I also hope that Real Madrid will sign Mourinho, but the other thing is what Real Madrid says internally." Real Madrid did not say they wanted to sign Mourinho, nor did they say he was a popular candidate. Their version is that Mr Mourinho is not on the shortlist. Indeed, he has called to recommend himself, but in principle, Real Madrid's current goal is not to sign Mourinho. This is what Real Madrid said.
