It would be recalled that the Portuguese hinted he was on his way back to England just after his team lost to German club, Dortmund at the Semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions' League.
"I know in England I am loved. I know. I know I am loved by the fans. I am loved by the media that treats me in a fair way, criticizing me when they have to, but giving me credit when I deserve it. I know I am loved by some clubs, especially one."
He signed a contract extension until 2016 with Real Madrid last year May. So we can now rule out his chances of going back to Stamford bridge. This must hurt some Chelsea fans, most of them have been looking forward to his grand return.
