Jose Mourinho 'planning double Chelsea raid next year'

Jose Mourinho 'planning double Chelsea raid next year'

Roma boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly eyeing moves for Chelsea duo Antonio Rudiger and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Rudiger's future remains the subject of much speculation, with the Germany international's contract at Stamford Bridge due to expire at the end of June.

Real Madrid are believed to be in a strong position to sign the centre-back, but according to Corriere dello Sport, Mourinho wants to bring the 28-year-old back to Roma.

Rudiger represented the Italian giants between 2015 and 2017, making 72 appearances during a successful spell before making the move to Chelsea.

The report also claims that Loftus-Cheek is a target for the Portuguese, who wants to bolster his midfield with the arrival of the Englishman.

The 25-year-old has worked his way into Thomas Tuchel's side this season, making nine appearances in all competitions, but it remains to be seen whether he has a long-term career at Stamford Bridge.
