Chelsea have a lot to look forward to this summer as most of their targets appear willing to sign a deal with the Blues. Not only that, but clubs are also more eager than ever to sell. The massive changes through which clubs like Real, PSG or both Manchester sides are going will allow Mourinho to finally complete his dream team. According to the Daily Express, one of the highest priorities on the transfer list will be up for grabs after Benitez took over Real in the form of Raphael Varane. The 22 year old French international who has always been one of Mourinho’s favorites, is very likely to be sold in order to make way for a different kind of defender, more similar to Ramos or Pepe. Benitez is used to having an aggressive and experienced line of defense similar to what he had at Liverpool, Chelsea and Napoli. Varane is a new breed of defender, more elegant, and willing to contribute more to the game. With that in mind, Pepe will probably continue to be favored over the young Frenchman who is no longer keen on spending time in Spain without having a good chance of being the first pick.

Mourinho could not only offer him the chance to play more often but could also offer the option of becoming the permanent replacement for JT who in one or two years will probably step down and let a player like Varane take over. The French center back has a lot to learn but would have the chance to develop under one of the top coaches with whom he has worked before but this time it would be in arguably the strongest football competition on the Continent.
