Messi 'obviously' not joining Chelsea, says Mourinho


 

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claims rumours linking Barcelona's Lionel Messi with a move to Stamford Bridge are "obviously" false. The Portuguese insists that the Blues will not be signing the Barcelona superstar, despite his recent revelation that he may not finish his career at the Camp Nou. Messi sparked the rumour mill into overdrive recently when he appeared to suggest that he might not finish his career at Camp Nou. But Mourinho, who went up against Messi several times during his time as Real Madrid coach, is adamant that such stories are falsified. Mourinho told reporters on Friday: "My reaction is that the media world changed so much that the football world also changed so much. Premier League leaders Chelsea were subsequently identified as a possible destination for the Argentine superstar, while Manchester City is also monitoring his situation.
