Club investor confirms €50m offer for world’s best, Chelsea want €100m

Monaco shareholder Alessandro Proto has confirmed that he spoke to the Chelsea owner regarding Jose Mourinho’s transfer to Monaco.

The Monaco shareholder claimed that he met with the Russian billionaire in London and offered to buy Mourinho out of his contract but the Chelsea owner refused to accept his €50m offer and insisted on €100m.

Jose Mourinho is under severe pressure to deliver this season and his catastrophic start to the season has fuelled rumours that Mourinho could be sacked soon. Proto expressed his admiration for the Portuguese and was willing to take him to Monaco.
