Alessandro Proto, a minority shareholder for Monaco, claims to have met with Roman Abramovich about the availability of Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho's job status with Chelsea is unclear as the club continues to struggle this season.

"We offered €50 million to have the coach immediately, but the request was €100 million and that figure seems exaggerated," Proto Enterprises said in a statement to EFE.

"I have four years. In this case, three years and seven months,” said Mourinho on Tuesday.

"Yes, I know why the results have been different but I can’t tell you because I’ll be here a long time. It’s a combination of factors. Some of them I can’t, I don’t even want to touch them — but yes I know."
