I HEAR that Jurgen Klopp - the German answer to Mourinho - is suddenly more amenable to talking over a move to Chelsea.
He turned down a request for talks earlier this year as he believed he could take Borussia Dortmund as far as he would Chelsea.
But he has apparently changed his mind after Dortmund agreed to sell their best player - Gotze - to biggest German rivals Bayern Munich.
It makes him feel that others will follow and that he will never catch Bayern if his own club become a selling club.
I had been told that Mourinho was odds on to return to the Bridge - but this may now blow the whole thing apart.
Don't be surprised if the odds on Klopp ending up at Chelsea - or even Man City - drop dramatically over the next couple of days.
