According to the
La Gazzetta dello Sport Jose Mourinho is keen to make John Terry his number
one transfer target this summer and wants him to reunite with Ricardo Carvalho for next season at
the heart of the Madrid defence!. It's believed that Mourinho wants JT especially for his
leadership qualities that seem to be lacking at the moment in his current squad.
More on Drogba this morning and this time from Jose Mourinho. After the speculation surrounding
Drogba's future has been the focus of the media attention this week, Jose was asked about a
possible move to take Drogba to Madrid and Jose being Jose, responded by saying:
"Everybody knows the professional and personal relationship that I have with Drogba,
But everybody also knows the relationship that I have with Abramovich and Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho is quoted in The Sun today after speaking at a Football Extravaganza evening in
London's Grosvenor Hotel and has admitted publicly he is coming back to England. He said:
"I miss England and my next job will be in England. There is unfinished business. And I
think England wants me back, no?
Jose Mourinho, fresh from taking Real Madrid into the Quarter finals of the Champions League for
the first time a few years has spoken of the pending draw being made tomorrow and is keen to avoid
Chelsea.
He said:
"I prefer to avoid Chelsea and Inter because emotionally it's difficult playing against
your people and your friends, If we have to play them then we will play them as we are all
professionals but I'll have to forget they are my people.
There is one story that never goes away and that's the link between Jose Mourinho and Chelsea. Ever

MADRID: Since February 23, 2002, José Mourinho has coached Porto, Chelsea, Internazionale and Real
Madrid in 180 home domestic league and cup matches with 152 wins, 28 draws . . . and no defeats.
That remarkable record was extended when Madrid moved within two points of Spanish league leaders
Barcelona, for 24 hours at least, [.
Jose Mourinho made a statement last night featured in The Sun about his future and has admitted
that he has decided to come back to England and to the Premier League. I think it's safe to say
that since he has left Chelsea he hasn't exactly got on with everyone in Italy and in Spain. He has
had the success we all know he has had and fair play to him.
