The post unveiled by famed transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, confirming the return of José Mourinho to Real Madrid, has broken a famed social media record.
Market insider Romano confirmed that Mourinho’s Bernabéu reunion has been set in stone earlier this week.
This came through a trademark ‘Here We Go’ post on his official ‘X’ account:

And as alluded to above, the post in question has since broken the all-time ‘Here We Go’ likes record.
The previous leader when it comes to likes on a Romano message came back in 2024, upon Kylian Mbappé’s long-awaited Real Madrid switch at last being confirmed.
This post racked up an eye-watering 620,000 likes.
Incredibly, though, Mourinho’s latest ‘Here We Go’ has left Mbappé in the dust.
As of Wednesday, May 20th, the Portuguese has seen his move back to Spain’s capital liked a staggering 730,000 times, with this figure only set to increase over the days and weeks ahead…
