CLAIM OF "PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT SIGNED"
According to HT Sports, Jose Mourinho has reached a preliminary agreement with the Portuguese Football Federation. The aim is to implement the preliminary agreement after the Nations League matches to be played at the beginning of June. Furthermore, the details of the news indicate that the Portuguese Football Federation does not want to pay any compensation to Fenerbahçe for Mourinho.
Ahmet Selim Kul stated regarding the flash development, "The main plan here was this: Mourinho and the Portuguese Football Federation were to make an agreement starting from 2026, as Mourinho's contract with Fenerbahçe ends in 2026. However, a development occurred that changed the opinion of the Portuguese Football Federation; the Ronaldo factor...
Because the Ronaldo issue has turned into a difficult process to manage for the Portuguese National Team. The Portuguese Football Federation believes that the only name that can handle this process 'by name' and can compete with the power of the name Ronaldo is Mourinho. For this reason, the federation decided to pull this agreement from 2026 to this summer.
However, the Portuguese Football Federation does not want to pay a contract termination fee to Fenerbahçe for Mourinho. Following this development, Mourinho has started to calculate the possibility of parting ways with Fenerbahçe by mutual agreement," he said.
