Jose Mourinho “will meet Massimo Moratti today or tomorrow,” confirms his agent, as talks with Real Madrid are “practically done.”
The Coach has made it clear he wants to leave Inter after winning the Treble, but there is the matter of a contract that runs to 2012 and a £16m buy-out clause.
“Yes, Mourinho will meet Moratti in Milan,” revealed agent Eladio Parames to the ANSA news agency.
“If the meeting isn’t in the next few hours, then it will be tomorrow.”
The tactician said he would begin talks with Real Madrid today, but is already very enthusiastic about this new adventure.
“It is a great challenge to go for the Liga against a Barcelona side that picked up 100 points, not to mention the Champions League,” Mourinho told Portuguese television Tvi.
“Before I can sign for Madrid, I need to see a few people, some of whom I haven’t spoken to yet.
“I saw my representative Jorge Mendes and the matter is practically done, but the final decision is mine, not his.
“I want to see what they can offer me to ensure I start my work without fear. I think the club will complete the contract.
“The Champions League Final was my last game with Inter. It was very difficult to say goodbye to the players.
“Moratti didn’t say anything to me. He just hugged me close and that means more than a thousand words.
“Now I know that the Bernabeu will be my home for a while.”
