Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho will only consider a Chelsea return if Fernando Torres is sold. The Daily Star says Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in 2007 because of his testy relationship with the misfiring Andrey Shevchenko, who was signed by Russian owner Roman Abramovich.

He does not want the same thing to happen with Torres, who has not scored in the league since September last year and is part of the reason why Villas-Boas has been sacked. So, he will tell Abramovich that the £50m Spanish striker must go and that he must be given complete control over transfers.
