3) Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)
A superb young player that Jose Mourinho will know well, Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane is another outstanding French prospect who could be on the market this summer. Chelsea have been linked with the 21-year-old several times in the past, and there’s no doubt he would make a great long-term replacement for John Terry at the back, showing great bravery and leadership already in his short career. Varane was handed his Real Madrid debut by Mourinho during his time in charge at the Bernabeu, and he may well relish the chance to work under the Portuguese coach again after suffering a slight dip in form under Carlo Ancelotti this season.
