Jose Mourinho has rejected an approach from Chelsea but is interested in a move to Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports in France.

PSG are actively seeking a replacement for head coach Christophe Galtier, who is expected to leave this summer after just one season with the French club.

Mourinho, meanwhile, is in his second term at Roma but after winning the Europa Conference League last year, his side will end this season without a trophy and are likely to miss out on a top-four finish in Serie A.

According to RMC Sport, PSG’s director of football, Luis Campos, has spoken with Mourinho’s agent, Jorge Mendes, about the possibility of a move to France and the 60-year-old is said to be interested.

The report claims that Mourinho turned down an approach from Chelsea after they sacked Graham Potter but is now Campos’ favourite candidate for the job at PSG.

Mourinho will have just one year left on his current deal with Roma at the end of the season and speaking last month, the former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham manager dismissed the importance of contracts.

‘I don’t talk to friends, comrades, journalists,’ Mourinho replied when asked about his future.

‘If a few months ago our CEO [Pietro] Berardi said he was sure I would stay, that is his interpretation. If this time Mr. Zazzaroni [a journalist] said what he said is an interpretation of him, I’m not talking to anyone.

‘The situation is clear, from a contractual point of view I still have one year on my contract. Football is football, sometimes contracts aren’t the most important thing.

‘All good, all calm, the next one is always the most important game.’
