Jose Mourinho and Falcao set to head for Chelsea
CHELSEA could be boosted next season by the arrivals of manager Jose Mourinho and striker Falcao.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho looks to be on his way out at the Bernabeu, a process that could be hastened after his side's 4-1 first-leg Champions League semi-final defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
And Atletico Madrid hitman Falcao is expected to seal a £46m switch to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, to sign a four-year-deal worth £200,000.
According to German newspaper Bild, the return to West London for Mourinho is 'almost certain' after Madrid's set-back last night.
Mourinho would be a popular choice for Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, who has seen interim boss Rafa Benitez incur the wrath of fans.
Benitez will depart at the end of this season, and Mourinho's appointment is set to be supplemented with the expensive arrival of Falcao.
Coincidentally, Madrid - along with rivals Manchester United - are Chelsea's closest challengers for the coveted Colombian goalscorer.
