Real Madrid offered Mou 12 million euros to prevent Spurs move

The information published by 'The Sun' does not leave anyone indifferent. The British paper says that Real Madrid wanted to keep open the possibility of signing Jose Mourinho in the not too distant future, in case Zinedine Zidane ran into difficulties. 

Therefore, Real Madrid apparently tried to offer the Portuguese 12 million euros to stop him going to Spurs and making sure he would be free for when they needed him. 

Apparently, the ex-Real Madrid coach, sacked as Man Utd manager, turned the proposal from his old club, because there is no certainty 'Zizou' will be dismissed. Therefore, he decided not to wait and to accept the Spurs job. 

And it does not look like Zidane will leave the Bernabeu very soon because the French coach has managed to get Real Madrid back to their best. 

In fact, Real are leaders of La Liga at the moment before Barcelona travel to Atletico Madrid this Sunday, with 31 points in 15 matches. 

In addition, they have booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League. In their last European meeting, they played brilliantly in the 2-2 draw with PSG. Real Madrid are getting back to their best.
