Sky Sports News reports that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese tactician has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for the better part of this season, since partying ways with the Stamford Bridge outfit.
Les Parisiens are said to be banking on Man United’s sluggish approach for the former Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss, in order to land his signature this summer.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi reportedly contacted Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes immediately after the defeat to Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League at the Etihad Stadium. Kevin de Bruyne’s late goal sent the French giants crashing out of the European tournament.
But Mou is reportedly unwilling to listen to new offers as he patiently waits for the Old Trafford job.

@TheCityIsRED1 if they want to win the Champions league, they need a more competitive French league. Not Jose Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho to PSG, would be like Messi to Liverpool... Both don't want to go to second rate clubs.

Where is Jose Mourinho going to go? He's now 11-10 to go to either Man United or PSG, but the recent gamble suggests the latter.

Meanwhile, Man United manager Louis Van Gaal is expected to leave the club this summer despite having one more year remaining on his contract with the Red Devils. If Man Utd executives decide to sack the Dutch tactician, who has been blowing cold and hot this season at Old Trafford, this could pave way for Mourinho’s arrival.
