Fiorentina to send Portillo back to Real Madrid for Chelsea's Mutu

Fiorentina are considering sending striker Javier Portillo back to Real Madrid.

Italian press speculation suggests Fiorentina president Diego Della Valle intends to send Portillo back to Real to make room in his budget for a new attacking partner for Fabrizio Miccoli.

Top of the list is Chelsea firebrand Adrian Mutu, who is expected to be made available during the winter market after a blazing public row with manager Jose Mourinho this week.
