Mourinho wants Drogba

José Mourinho is planning a £20m offer for Chelsea’s Didier Drogba.

The Real Madrid boss wants to take his former striker to the Bernabeu.

But Mourinho will be told by Chelsea that their 32-year-old hitman is not for sale.

That will not stop Mourinho trying to snap him up, however, and Drogba’s agent, Thierno Seydi, has admitted that anything could still happen with his client before the end of the transfer window.

Seydi said: “Until the transfer window closes ­anything is possible with footballers.”


Mourinho wants an ­experienced striker after ­allowing Real Madrid hero Raul to leave the club.

At the moment he only has French flop Karem Benzema and young Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain.

Mourinho has already done one deal with former club Chelsea this summer, taking Ricardo Carvalho to Madrid for £6m and he now plans to have a meeting with his club’s general director Jorge Valdano.

The Argentine chief wants to off-load some players and will try to use Dutchman Rafael van der Vaart in part exchange for Drogba.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is adamant that Drogba is going nowhere despite the fact that Seydi had talks with Manchester City last month about a Drogba move to Eastlands.
Drogba has spoken about wanting to finish his career at Chelsea, but at the same time he has wanted to work with Mourinho again ever since the Portuguese left the club three years ago.
