The three-time back-to-back European champions are said to still be in the market for a new coach with current boss Santiago Solari known to be only a short-term appointment. And Ramos is said to be the first to jump ship if Mourinho returns to Madrid, according to Mundo. The captain does not have a good relationship with his former boss at Madrid - so much so he's ready to vote with his feet if he returns. The Spanish source also believe that a return for Mourinho isn't inevitable - and he could move to Chinese football on a large salary. The former Chelsea and Inter boss' friendship with Madrid president Florentino Perez and director Jose Angel Sanchez is one of the reasons behind the talk of a return.
