      He previously spent three years with Los Blancos from 2010 to 2013 and led the club to one LaLiga title, one Copa del Rey and a Spanish Super Cup.
      However, Cassano recently insisted that Real Madrid would not want to bring Mourinho back.
      He said: “If Real Madrid wants a coach, they will not call Mourinho for his new project.
      “Mou doesn’t give a s*** about football. He doesn’t even like to work, he doesn’t know how to communicate or speak, let’s not be fooled by his story.”

      Mourinho has since hit back at the pundit, claiming that he was “only remembered for his jacket” during his spell with Real Madrid.
      During his press conference, the Roma boss said: “Everyone is free to have their preferences and make their criticism, but when talking about others, like Antonio does, it’s different.
      “Some of us work in football, he just wants to enjoy himself. Cassano played for Roma, for Inter and for Real Madrid. 
      “In Madrid he is only remembered for his jacket. With Roma he won a Supercoppa without playing. At Inter he didn’t even manage the Lombardy Cup in a friendly.”

      Mourinho’s “jacket” jibe was a reference to the outfit he wore to his unveiling at the Santiago Bernabeu.
      The ‘Special One’ added: “You know what I won with Inter, Real Madrid and Roma. He might have a problem with me, I do not have a problem with him.
      “I will tell Cassano just one thing: careful Antonio, for you are 40 years old and I am 60, at times Marko Livaja types turn up and then it gets tough.” More

      But off-pitch matters continue to cloud the club’s future.
      And with planned renovations to the Nou Camp in the pipeline, their debts – made up of loans and finance – are expected to reach £1.3billion.
      According to Relevo, this has led club chiefs to look at reducing each player’s salary by 15 per cent from next season.
      Stars such as Jordi Alba are also set to be approached about taking new deals on lesser wages.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Barcelona believe these cutbacks could save up to £61m.
      But the players will need to agree to the reduced wages – a decision the squad will need to come to as a group.
      And that could prove a difficult sell, particularly if the club continue to try and sign big names in the summer.
      Earlier this week, reports emerged of a potential return for Lionel Messi.

      The Argentine, 35, left in emotional circumstances two years ago when Barca’s financial crisis dictated that he had to move on.
      He is now into his second season with Paris Saint-Germain, but is being urged to take a reduced deal to remain with the French side.
      And Barca are one of several big offers on the table for Messi – despite their economic instability.
      The club’s fans even chanted his name during their 4-0 Copa del Rey defeat to Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.
      The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is also the subject of a £350m-a-year offer from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal.
      David Beckham’s MLS club Inter Miami have also shown interest in bringing him to America. More
