Inter stick to €16m buy-out clause for Mourinho

(GSM) – Internazionale won’t let their coach Jose Mourinho go to Real Madrid without a fight. The freshly crowned Champions League winners insist “there will be no discount on the €16m buy-out clause.”

Real claim Mourinho will be presented on Tuesday but the tension has been mounted between the two clubs, as the Spaniards are refusing to negotiate over the buy-out clause, considering it “a matter between Mourinho and Inter.”

“I don’t think it will be resolved in 24 hours, but it is possible we can present Mourinho to the media at the start of next week. I’d say Tuesday,” Real’s general manager Jorge Valdano told Radio Nacional.

Mourinho’s agent had another meeting with Inter on Thursday, but there is still no solution to the impasse.

“The buy-out clause is €16m and there will be no discount,” warned Nerazzurri director Marco Branca on Sky Sport Italia.

“We’re not surprised Real Madrid say they’re going to present Mourinho. We are in no hurry and this is not the day it will get sorted out.”
