“I will not waste my time thinking about players who are of the order of the mission impossible,” former the Blues manager added.

However, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez insisted to keep the world’s best striker to stay at Bernabeu.
“It is a question for Florentino Perez,” Mourinnho said. “Clubs put price tags on players, not the one who wants to buy. He belong s to Real Madrid. The club has decided and we have not come to an agreement. It is simple. It is a shame.
“It is a player who enjoyed it to the first team with me. We have a special liking for him, he is someone special. I enjoyed watching his evolution at Juventus and Madrid. It is like that. I don’t think he can end with us.” he added.
