Mourinho is in negotiations to extend his contract with Roma as Newcastle approaches

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, José Mourinho and Roma are in talks about a potential contract renewal;

nevertheless, the coach is interested in a new two-year deal,

and Newcastle is “fascinated” by the Special One.

Mourinho’s current contract at the Stadio Olimpico expires atthe end of the current campaign,

and Gazzetta reports that talks between middlemen have already begun.

According to the source,Roma appears prepared to extend the contract by one year,

but Mourinho has reportedly wanted a new two-year agreement.

It goes without saying that the majority of Giallorossi fans want to see

the Special One stay on the bench for a very long time.

At the Stadio Olimpico this past Sunday, they raised a banner honoring

Mourinho and referred to him as a “Romanista for life.”

The story claims that the Friedkins have been persuaded to inquire about

Mourinho’s availability to stay longer at the Stadio Olimpico due to

the pressure from the supporters and the coach’s recent success.

Roma and Bologna are tied for fourth place in the Serie A standings with 25 points apiece.

According to the source, both sides are willing to talk about a new agreement,

with Roma agreeing to confirm the coach’s remuneration,

which is estimated to be around €7.5 million a season.

The talks will go on for a few more weeks, and they might end

if Roma’s performance deteriorates in the second half of

the season and if a “big club knock on Mourinho’s door.”

Real Madrid and Newcastle are two teams that Gazzetta mentions as potential suitors for the Special One.

The Magpies are rumored to be especially interested in the

Portuguese tactician since the former manager of Chelsea,

Tottenham, and Manchester United “fascinates” the club owners.
