Speculation is rife that Jose Mourinho will walk away at the end of the season from Chelsea after falling out of favour with owner Roman Abramovich.

According to the SUN, Real Madrid wants Mourinho as their new boss to take over from Fabio Capello next season.

A source at Stamford Bridge claims, Mourinho will ask Madrid to buy Michael Essien and two other Chelsea players as a condition for him to make the move.

However, CHELSEA chairman Bruce Buck insists there is no rift between Jose Mourinho and the club's board and that he is confident the "Special One" has no plans to leave Stamford Bridge.
