Jose Mourinho ready to take advantage of Chelsea misfortune after Tammy Abraham success

Jose Mourinho is ready to capitalise on Chelsea’s financial plight by raiding his former club for a second successive summer.

The Portuguese tactician moved to sign Tammy Abraham in a £34million deal last summer from the club where he won three Premier League titles across two spells. And now, Mourinho is ready to pile on the misery by swooping for one of the club’s forgotten stars, Charly Musonda Jr.

The Belgian attacker has recently recovered from a serious knee injury sustained back in 2018 which hampered his development at Stamford Bridge. The 25-year-old is out of contract this summer and it seems likely he will depart due to the west London club’s inability to push through new deals.

Chelsea are prohibited from making income and limited to spending their monthly budget after owner Roman Abramovich was hit by sanctions from the UK government. The club are in the midst of discussing takeover bids with a new owner set to take the reins from Russian billionaire Abramovich in the coming weeks.

But there is no guarantee that Chelsea will be able to renew the deal of every out-of-contract player this summer. And that could allow the Giallorossi to snatch away another star graduate from the Cobham academy, according to Goal.

Musonda, who has been with the club since signing from Anderlecht in 2011, has been training with the development squad as he rebuilds his fitness. But the winger recently hit out at his lack of support from the club during his time on the sidelines — and even suggested he would play for free.

Were Chelsea wrong to sell Tammy Abraham last summer after breaking Roma's record? Comment below.

Mourinho will be hoping Musonda can resurrect his career like Abraham has after the 24-year-old
