Real Madrid have executed a breathtaking double swoop, appointing Jose Mourinho as manager and signing Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva on a free transfer.
Real Madrid have sent shockwaves across Europe by securing a sensational double signing on Thursday. The Spanish giants have officially reappointed Jose Mourinho as head coach and snapped up midfielder Bernardo Silva.
Mourinho returns to the Bernabéu on a three-year contract after Real Madrid triggered his 15-million-euro release clause from Benfica. “The Special One” immediately made his presence felt, driving the club to beat arch-rivals Barcelona to the signing of Bernardo Silva.
The 31-year-old Portuguese playmaker arrives from Manchester City as a free agent on a two-year deal. With Luka Modrić entering the twilight of his career, Silva’s tactical versatility offers the perfect solution to revitalize a midfield starved of silverware.
