Chelsea are chasing Atletico Madrid defender Joao Miranda.
The Sunday Mirror says he is close to landing £32million striker Diego Costa. Next, he wants central defender Miranda.
The asking price is unlikely to be much more than £10m for a player who will be 30 in September and who has two years remaining on his contract at the La Liga champions.
Mourinho feels that his battling qualities will be ideal for the Premier League in England.
