Real Madrid boss Mourinho offered fresh encouragement in bid for Chelsea icon Drogba

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho wants to be reunited with Chelsea icon Didier Drogba. The Daily Mail says the 34-year-old is wanted by the Spanish champions and talks have taken place between representatives of the two parties over a two-year contract.

The hero of Chelsea's Champions League triumph was brought to Stamford Bridge by Mourinho in 2004 and was on the Portuguese's wish-list last year, only for talks to falter over his transfer valuation.
