Enrique only took over the Catalonian giants over the summer but has so far failed to impress as arch-rivals Real Madrid look to run away with the La Liga title.
Chelsea themselves are the frontrunners for the Premier League title, and Mourinho has been a driving force behind their early season dominance.
Barca are keen to bring Mourinho back to the Nou Camp, where he previously worked as a coach and translator, but reports of their interest have prompted the Blues to put together a new deal to keep him in west London.
And the man himself has hinted that he would be prepared to reject any reported interest from Spain by saying: “I’m not here thinking about my next move because I don’t want to have a next move.
“I will have a next move if and when Chelsea decides it’s time for that. I’m here to stay. I belong to Chelsea, Chelsea belong to me.”
