Chelsea centre-back Ricardo Carvalho has expressed his desire to join up with his former mentor Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.

The 32-year-old centre-back admitted moving to the Spanish giants would be ‘a dream’ and a potential reunion with the self-proclaimed 'Special One' would be welcomed.

Despite lifting a domestic double with Chelsea last season, the Portugal international has been linked with a move to Inter Milan this summer.

"If there was a possibility to sign with Real Madrid, I would go there right now swimming or running," he told Spanish sports newspaper AS.

"It would be a dream to be able to play for Madrid, which I consider to be the best club in the world, and follow the orders of the best coach in the history of football.

"With [Jose] Mourinho I experienced two marvellous stages at Porto and Chelsea. To have the opportunity to win another Champions League with him at Real Madrid would be tremendous."

Mourinho initially managed Carvalho at Porto, where they won the UEFA Champions League in 2004. Carvalho then shadowed his former boss to Chelsea, but last season picked up an ankle injury at the end of March which ruled him out of the remainder of the campaign.

However, with fellow defender Alex recently sustaining a thigh injury - sidelining the Brazilian for a month - any potential transfer could be on hold.
