Monaco Denies Mourinho £35m Chelsea Offer As ‘Extravagant Rumours’

Monaco have denied claims that Chelsea rejected a €50 million (£35m) bid from the Ligue 1 club for Jose Mourinho, calling on the media to ignore the “extravagant and unsubstantiated rumours” of shareholder Alessandro Proto.

Monaco minority shareholder Proto said in a statement from his company Proto Enterprises to Spanish news agency EFE on Tuesday that he met Roman Abramovich in London to try to tempt the Chelsea owner into letting Mourinho go, with the Premier League champions 15th after 11 games.

Proto says that Abramovich rejected the offer from Monaco’s owner Dmitry Rybolovlev despite Mourinho’s Stamford Bridge future being in doubt, but that the Chelsea owner would reportedly consider a €100m (£71m) fee.

Despite having lost over 60% of games played this season,Jose Mourinho is still a target for the French principality club, but Abramovich has reportedly rejected a mammoth bid for his coach’s services and wants Mourinho to stay on for a while despite the poor run.

However, Blues owner Abramovich has offered him support and has told Monaco’s middlemen he won’t sell Mourinho for that price, although it is believed Mourinho could be got if the fee is doubled to £71m.
