Reluctant to let 21-year-old Lukaku leave for good, Mourinho is however willing to let Lukaku join a top-flight club outside England on the condition that he returns to Chelsea for the 2015/16 season, when he will have a genuine chance to challenge for a place in the starting line-up.
Mourinho is desperate to add a second world-class hitman to his side as he prepares to give himself as many options as possible, and looks ready to launch a £20million move for Mandzukic after the World Cup, with Arsenal and Manchester United also keen on the Croatian star.
