Jose Mourinho Will Make £30m Summer Bid For Frank Lampard


The Mail on Sunday report today that Jose Mourinho will try and lure Frank Lampard in the summer, if, as expected, he takes over at Real Madrid .

The Special One" has long been linked with the Bernabeu hot seat and developed a strong relationship with Lampard whilst he was Chelsea boss.

A "close source" told The Mail on Sunday: "Mourinho has always loved Frank, who would have to think long and hard if he was asked to sign for him at Real Madrid.”

The "close source" continued: "Frank's phenomenal scoring record from midfield would have to be attractive to Real. ’This would be the one move Frank might find too tempting to ignore. In many ways, it would be a great way for him to finish his career after the World Cup this summer."

Current Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti and owner Roman Abamovich are expected to try and resist any bids for Lampard but they could use the 30 million pounds to secure the signing of Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero.

Mourinho tried to sign Lampard during his time at Inter Milan. In 2009/2010, Frank Lampard has scored 21 goals and provided 12 assists in 41 appearances.

Lampard is contracted to Chelsea until the end of season 2013/2014.
