Roman Abramovich will have to pay as much as £12million to bring Jose Mourinho back to Chelsea.
The Real Madrid coach inserted a break clause in the four-year contract he signed at the Bernabeu last summer after he won La Liga.
Mourinho's contract runs until 2016, but Chelsea may have to pay Madrid up to a year of that to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea, who were turned down by Mourinho when they made an approach last summer, have the Portuguese coach in their sights, even though Abramovich paid £18m to get rid of him and his staff in 2007.
Mourinho made an emotional appeal to Chelsea to rescue him from Spanish football after his side lost their Champions League semi-final with Borussia Dortmund 4-3 on aggregate.
The Madrid coach claimed that he is 'loved' in this country and added that at least one club in England - presumably Chelsea - were still in thrall with him.
