“As a manager, I am a part of the coaching staff, I am responsible for leading the club, and everyone inside it, including the owner, were very clear about Ivanovic situation. ‘
Asked whether it is necessary that some of the players leave the club, Mourinho said: ‘I do not. The club is stable, well-organized, and with an adequate number of players in the roster.
‘We, as a club, we want to comply with the provisions of the financial fair play, and we are currently in a very stable situation.’
‘I like the composition and profile of players that we have. I like the fact that we have a very young team, with three or four experienced players who are in the prime of their careers. ‘

“Big clubs will always be connected with big players, but there are always rumours,” Mourinho told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday ahead of the Blues’ friendly against the Singha All Stars on Wednesday.

“We want to be there [at the top of the table] and will be fighting [for the title].”
