Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says Paris Saint-Germain will not be willing to sell Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Edinson Cavani.<\/p>\n
A new striker appears to figure prominently on Chelsea’s transfer radar this summer, with question marks hanging over the respective futures of their current crop of frontmen – Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba.<\/p>\n
Ibrahimovic, and in particular Cavani, have been linked with Premier League switches this coming summer, but Mourinho does not think that PSG will do business.<\/p>\n
“Ibrahimovic? It’s impossible. He’s happy in Paris. I know because we’re in contact, we’re friends.Jose Mourinho<\/p>\n
“With their financial potential, I don’t think Paris will ever open the door for him to leave.<\/p>\n
“Cavani is a very good player. But Paris paid a lot of money for him and he has an amazing contract.”<\/p>\n
While on the subject of PSG – who have been strongly linked with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard – Mourinho insisted that his Belgian ace would be staying put.<\/p>\n
He was asked if Hazard could be swapped with Cavani, but he said: “No, Eden is our lad.<\/p>\n
“We want to build the team around him, he is both the style of footballer and the sort of man we want to have,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
