Jose Mourinho’s dream of becoming Manchester United manager has moved a giant step closer.
Sources close to Real Madrid have revealed that their new boss can leave at the end of each of his four years in charge with no compensation to be paid by either party.
Sunday Mirror Sport revealed in May that Mourinho had insisted in a get out clause after agreeing to join Real from Champions League winners Inter Milan.
The news that he will be a free agent each summer until 2014 means that when Sir Alex Ferguson retires the prospect of luring Mourinho as his Old Trafford successor will be attractive and affordable.
Mourinho, 47, has always maintained that he will return to the Premier League after winning two titles in three seasons with Chelsea.
United is his preferred destination and he’s seen as one of the few men with the ego to follow in Fergie’s footsteps.
The Portuguese won two Serie A championships in two seasons at Inter, but quit the Italian club in May following the Champions League Final victory over Bayern Munich in the Bernabeu.
