Mourinho to demand £30m Chelsea pay-out as he seeks Paris or Inter switch

Jose Mourinho has reportedly sought out a new club in the event he is sacked by Chelsea

JOSE MOURINHO will demand his recently-signed contract is paid up in full if he is sacked by Chelsea.

Mourinho penned a four-year contract renewal at Stamford Bridge this summer.

It was reward for leading the club to a first Premier League title since 2010.

But the Blues have failed to kick on from last term and currently languish 15th in the league with five defeats from their opening 10 top-flight games.

Pressure is mounting on Mourinho, with reports emerging this morning that his representatives are seeking a position for him at either Paris Saint-Germain or Inter.

And the Independent claim Mourinho would jump at a chance to take over either continental giant should Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich give him the sack.

 

It is claimed Abramovich would be reluctant to pay off Mourinho in full - and that may give Mourinho more time to reverse Chelsea's fortunes.

And the report adds that Mourinho's first choice, should he be sacked, is PSG.

Current manager Laurent Blanc has steered the club seven points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table but pressure is mounting on the Frenchman to get results in Europe.

 

Paris' billionaire Arab owners are keen to get their hands on the Champions League but have so far gone no further than the semi-finals in Europe's elite club competition.

Mourinho has won the tournament twice - with Porto in 2004 and Inter in 2010.

Were PSG to reject Mourinho, the 52-year-old could see himself back at Inter, despite current boss Roberto Mancini leading the squad in a fierce Serie A title race.
