Mourinho To Accept Saudi €104m Contract
Jose Mourinho will reportedly be freed to accept a supposed £104 million ($127m) contract offer from Saudi Arabia in 2024 as he is set to leave Roma.
The Portuguese coach is negotiating a contract in the Italian city that will finish at the conclusion of the current campaign. According to Sky Sports Italia, no extension discussions have taken place, and a breakup is anticipated for the summer of 2019.

Gianluca Di Marzio has said of the big decision being made on Mourinho’s future in Italy: “There are no negotiations ongoing, there have never been. So they’ll part company at the end of the deal in June.” Mourinho will walk away after three years at Stadio Olimpico.
The former manager of Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester United is expected to travel to the Middle East next, as the 60-year-old has acknowledged that he anticipates doing so at some point. “I am focused on Roma and I will give everything until the last day I am here,” Mourinho stated. Although no one can predict the future, I am certain that I will one day coach in Saudi Arabia. I have no idea when, but I am confident that I will do it.
According to rumours, an ambitious Middle Eastern club is prepared to extend Mourinho a two-year, £104 million contract. If those conditions are met, one of the most renowned football coaches in history will play in the Saudi Pro League among players like Sadio Mane, Karim Benzema, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
