Real Madrid boss Mourinho wants jaw-dropping £20M-a-year to return to England

Two mystery Premier League clubs want to bring Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho back to England in the summer.

The Sunday Express says former Chelsea boss Mourinho, 48, has been made aware of two potential Premier League suitors via his agent Jorge Mendes.

The clubs, both in the top half of the table, were told that Mourinho would command wages of £20m a year and a substantial transfer pot of around £150m.

Mourinho currently earns £10m a year at the Bernabeu and is already the world's highest-paid manager.

But he knows his market value and can play the financial game with a strong bargaining hand.

He also knows that to be successful any new club would have to be at the forefront in the inflated transfer market so he would demand real financial muscle.
