Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has admitted defeated in his ambition to sign his favoured player Frank Lampard from Chelsea this summer.
Frank Lampard was being touted to buy himself out of his contract at Chelsea and sign for Inter this summer. Inter were(and possibly are) even ready to pay a hefty fee to sign the player but Chelsea have turned down any offer.
Inter Milan coach, Jose Mourinho, who formerly coached Chelsea has now apparently accepted defeat in his bid to sign his most trusted player. He made it apparent in a press conference on Sunday.
“I think bringing Lampard is now more complicated, I guess it’s more likely that he sees out the remaining year of his contract than he joins now on a transfer.
“The Quaresma matter is hard but easy to understand, he is a player I would like to work with, it would be interesting for me to have a player like him, just like it would be interesting for him to have a coach like me.
“I am a coach of Inter Milan and he is a player of FCPorto, I am not a president, I do not know if there will be an offer for him or if it will be an offer that will be agreed, I do not know and I have to respect Quaresma and Porto,” he concluded.
