Chelsea consider Liverpool striker Christian Benteke.

Chelsea could turn to Liverpool striker Christian Benteke as a cut-price Plan B if they fail to sign Romelu Lukaku from Everton this summer.

Lukaku joined Everton from Chelsea in 2014 for £28million but their failure to insert a buy-back clause in the contract is set to cost them dearly.

Everton want £65m to let the striker leave but the 23-year-old is still Antonio Conte's top target, though Benteke is a cheaper option if Chelsea need to look elsewhere.

It means Chelsea could tempt Liverpool this summer with a deal that would likely see them offered less than the £32.5m they paid to show the striker the exit.

Italy boss Conte - the incoming Blues manager is keen to get cover for Diego Costa, who is still wanted by Atletico Madrid, his former club that sold him for £32m in 2014.

Jose Mourinho contemplates a return to management.

Jose Mourinho says he can 'almost guarantee' a return to management next season, but the former Chelsea boss will not confirm where that will be.

The ex-Chelsea man insisted that he has multiple offers on the table, despite some reports that he has already reached an agreement with United.  

'I can almost guarantee you that I’ll be back working this summer,' said Mourinho. 'I’ve got good offers on the table.

'It’s a matter of thinking, to come to a good decision and finalising it. In the summer everyone will know what my next club will be.'

The 53-year-old admitted however, that he doesn't have many options, because he only wants to work in a 'hard league'.

And Mourinho also said he would need to be appreciated at his next club.  

'I’ll take my ideas to where they are wanted. I want to be at a place where I’m wanted.

'I want to work at a club with responsibility, in a hard league and where there are no easy objectives. That doesn't leave many options.'
