Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has ruled out a move for Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann.

The Blues have been heavily linked with the 24-year-old, who has a £47.1million release clause in his contract.

However, the Special One says Griezmann is not on his shopping list.

He told Marca: “Griezmann is a great striker but is not within our objectives to strengthen the squad for next season. We are not interested.”

Griezmann only arrived from Real Sociedad last summer, smashing 25 goals in 44 starts for his new club.

And the French international insists he has no plans to quit the Vicente Calderon Stadium.

He said: “I’m good at Atletico. I just arrived and I’m not a player who moves after the first year.

“I still need to learn and know that I can do it here and get very far at Atletico. I hope I can.

“I do not know interest from other clubs is true or not because they are rumours. I am happy at Atletico.”
