Chelsea eye summer of heavy spending for European glory as Jose Mourinho plans transfer talks with Roman Abramovich

Jose Mourinho will propose Roman Abramovich bankrolls another summer splurge to turn Chelsea into Europe’s top-dogs once more.

The Blues manager will recommend the newly-crowned Barclays Premier League champions strengthen significantly ahead of next season when he files his end-of-season report at the end of the month.

Despite their title success, Mourinho knows he must improve on the club’s Champions League showing this season after they were knocked out of the competition by Paris St Germain in the second round.

Reports say Mourinho’s dossier will identify a new goalkeeper, centre-back, left-back, attacking midfielder and striker as the areas that need addressing.

Technical director Michael Emenalo and influential director Marina Granovskaia have already held meetings with intermediaries, as the club prepare for another busy summer.

Petr Cech’s imminent exit, potentially to Arsenal, means the club will look to sign a new second-choice goalkeeper.

Mourinho wants an experienced pair of hands to fill Cech’s position with Queens Park Rangers’ Robert Green, 35, an option.

Scouts are also identifying replacements for left-back Filipe Luis, who is expected to leave. The 29-year-old only arrived in west London last summer for £15.8million but has failed to dislodge Cesar Azpilicueta, making just seven league starts. Atletico Madrid are interested in re-signing the defender.

Chelsea will also aim to sign a long-term successor for John Terry with Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane their top target.

Mourinho will consider offers for creative midfielder Oscar, meaning the Blues will be in the market for a replacement, possibly Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling, whose future is unclear as he continues to stall on a new contract.

Atletico’s attacking midfielder Antoine Griezmann and Shakhtar Donetsk’s Douglas Costa have also earned rave reviews from Blues scouts this season. The club are identifying centre-forward targets to replace Didier Drogba, who is set to leave.

In addition, a new central midfielder to support Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas is on the club’s radar but Mourinho is likely to promote academy star Ruben Loftus-Cheek into the senior set-up to fill the gap.

With Cech, Luis and Drogba set to leave the Blues will look to sell winger Mohamed Salah, who is interesting Tottenham, to offset their summer spending.
