Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will reignite his interest in Sporting Lisbon’s William Carvalho, writes Tom Hopkinson for the Sunday People.

The defensive midfielder, 22, is available this summer for £30million – including add-ons – by the Portuguese club.

That figure has been baulked at by long-time admirers Manchester United, but the Blues are keen to press ahead with a bid – offering £11m, plus extras, as well as sending a player in the opposite direction on loan.

Portugal star Carvalho is expected to meet with Sporting president Bruno De Carvalho early this week to discuss his future.
