A day after widespread reports claimed Jose Mourinho had finally agreed to return to Chelsea, the Portuguese fuelled those links further by admitting he would definitely come back to the English Premier League some day, with Chelsea a distinct possibility.

Mourinho has been widely tipped to leave Real Madrid in the summer, with Chelsea increasingly looking like his most likely destination. The 50-year-old has also been linked with moves to Manchester City, Inter Milan and Paris Saint Germain, while he is seen as a possible successor to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

The Portuguese was in London this week and admitted he still has a huge soft spot for Chelsea and the Stamford Bridge faithful.

"I cannot deny that, despite this weather, I love it here, and as I said I have a house and I have big emotional connections with Chelsea and one day I think naturally I will have to be back to English football, or to Chelsea or to another club," Mourinho told Sky Sports News.

"Of course, Chelsea means to me differently than other clubs. Chelsea is in my heart as Inter is for example.

"One day I have to be back but again it is normal that I am in London. The same way I walk in my home city in Portugal, people see that as normal and this is normal, the same thing is normal when I am in London."

Mourinho admitted his chances of taking over at Manchester United were slim as Ferguson continues to go show his prowess, while also playing down a move to Manchester City as a replacement for the under-fire Roberto Mancini.

"I think Manchester is Sir Alex's kingdom and I would love that job to be his job forever, and for many more years and the other chair is Roberto with a contract," he said.

"He was champion two years ago so I don't think there is a move over there and I hope everything goes well for everyone.

"Even (Rafa) Benitez, I hope it goes well for him and I wish the same for them as me for it to go well."

Mourinho owns a house in London and his daughter is set to study in a college in the city. The former Inter Milan and Porto manager said his presence in London should not be seen as a sure sign that he was returning to his old hunting ground in Stamford Bridge.

"You know, there is a lot of talk but I think people have to understand that I can be in London very often, because we have a house here and I love it here and our daughter is coming to study in London and being in London should be seen as a normal thing for us," he added.

"But every time I come and people see me shopping, people start immediately making connections about a return and I feel it a little bit because I say every day I love it here and I have a fantastic time, and that I will return one day so, to be fair, I give a little contribution to the speculation.

"But at the end of the day I am in Madrid and very committed with ambitions for the club for the rest of the season. We are in the last eight of the Champions League and we have a final against our rivals Atletico Madrid.

"People who know me know I am professional and that in this moment I only think of Real."
