Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says the club have not made an offer for Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain.

However, Mourinho confirmed there has been interest in Kevin de Bruyne, amid reports the Belgian winger wants to leave in the transfer window. Mourinho said: "This is the period for agents to be famous. "We know Kevin didn't adapt very well to the difficult life a Chelsea player has, which is to pay a big price to play. "They have to give a lot, to work a lot, and to accept competitiveness. This is the first time he came to a big club with big competition. "He is a fantastic player with fantastic potential. I don't want him to leave but we have a couple of contacts made by other clubs. "But, if people think they can get our good players on sale, the sales finished in London yesterday."
