Jose Mourinho could be on his way back to England after reports in Spain claimed the Portuguese manager had already agreed a summer exit with Real Madrid in January.
Mourinho has been widely tipped to leave the Bernabeu at the end of the season, with his relationship with some of the Real players reaching breaking point, while the Portuguese has also had problems with the club's hierarchy.
While there has been no official confirmation from Real over Mourinho's impending departure, a journalist at Spanish radio station Cadena Ser claimed the Portuguese was definitely on his way out in the summer.
"At the beginning of January, Mourinho signed an agreement (with Madrid) to leave the club at the end of the season, whatever happens," the reporter Jose Ramon de la Morena said. "Both he and the Real Madrid president (Florentino Perez) know this for sure, but understandably they don't want to admit this nor go public with it.
"There are 11 games to go in the La Liga season, and there are 11 La Liga games to go in Mourinho's career at Real Madrid. He's leaving in the summer.
"For this reason, he hasn't participated in Real's preparations for the coming pre-season, while he also hasn't been involved in discussions about the club's tour to China -- and he isn't interested."
Morena also claimed that Mourinho had already agreed a deal with his next club, with Paris Saint Germain also reportedly interested in the former Porto manager.
"He has already signed a deal with his next club. Whatever he wins this season, he isn't going to continue at Madrid," he added.
The former Chelsea manager has made it clear he would love to come back to England where he enjoyed so much success at Stamford Bridge.
It was clear Mourinho was looking to get on the good books of everyone at Old Trafford by praising Manchester United for their performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League, saying the "better team had lost."
Mourinho is reportedly interested in taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson when the Scot eventually retires, but has also been linked with a move to Manchester City, while a return to Chelsea looks like the most likely option.
Roman Abramovich has reportedly repaired his relationship with Mourinho and has offered the job at Stamford Bridge from next season.
So, it now that it looks likely that Mourinho will end his three-year stay at Real which club would suit the Portuguese the most. Could it be Chelsea, United, City, PSG or a club that hasn't even been talked about?
