Jose Mourinho rubbishes talk of Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Chelsea

Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports about Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Chelsea.

Ronaldo, 29, has been the subject of speculation recently, with frequent suggestions that he is unhappy at Los Blancos and wants to leave the club.

Mourinho coached his compatriot for three years during his time in charge at Madrid, but rejected talk at his news conference on Friday that the Portugal captain is on his way to Chelsea.

"Pfff... forget it," he said, when questioned on the possibility of Ronaldo moving to West London.

Mourinho went on to praise the work of his club in the transfer market this summer, stating that they did an "amazing job" in securing all their major targets.

"We think we did our business well. I did my part well by analysing the situation at a very early stage, which was during last season, and after that my club did an amazing job in the way they dealt with the situations and giving the team the players we think are the right ones," he said.

"[Loic] Remy [arrived] almost on the last day [of the transfer window], but that was just a consequence of Fernando [Torres' move to AC Milan], a reaction to an unexpected situation. But even so, the club was ready to give us a striker that we like and that we believe is perfect to be one of our three.

"So we did our job in a good way, I believe, with something that is fundamental for us. It's not just a legal question for Chelsea, but a pride question, which is [financial fair play]. And my club did it in a magnificent way with the income and the players that we bought."
