Chelsea manager José Mourinho insists the club have not made an offer for Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuaín, and a move would be highly unlikely to happen.
The Blues were reported on Friday to have had a £50 million bid for the Argentina international rejected by the Serie A club.
However, Mourinho says there has been no offer, and a bid will not be made for Higuaín, who has scored nine goals in 16 Serie A appearances since joining from Real Madrid last summer.
The Portuguese tactician told reporters: "Nothing is true. He is a player that I know we cannot get.
"He moved from Real Madrid to Napoli six months ago and he's doing very well, he's adapting very well to Italy.
"Napoli is a club which normally doesn't sell. In the last years, they sold one player a year, when they felt it was not possible to keep them.
"They want to win the Scudetto, they want to win the Europa League. I don't believe they're interested in selling Higuaín.
"Why should we be interested in someone we believe it is impossible to get?"
