Jose Mourinho has warned Andre Schurrle’s suitors only a ‘phenomenal’ offer will force Chelsea into selling the midfielder.

Schurrle, who joined the Blues in 2013, has struggled to secure regular game time this season, since returning from Brazil as a World Cup winner with Germany.

And speculation has been mounting over the 24-year-old’s future at Stamford Bridge, with numerous clubs across Europe keen to agree a deal with Chelsea.

But the Blues boss says he does not want Schurrle to leave and only a huge bid will force him to reconsider.

‘The principle is that we would like him to stay,’ said Mourinho.

‘The question is not whether he is allowed to go or not. The question is not whether we get a good offer.

‘The question is whether we have a phenomenal offer and for the player to be super-keen to accept a new challenge in his career, because we don’t want to sell our players.’
