Jose Mourinho insists he knows nothing about fresh reports linking Chelsea striker Didier Drogba with a move to Inter Milan.

Inter's technical director Marco Branca reportedly met with Drogba's representative Pierre Frelot on Monday along with Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes at a restaurant in London.

However, Branca's whereabouts were unknown by Mourinho, who himself was having a meal out in Cernobbio.

"I don't know where Branca was, I was at dinner at Cernobbio," he said. "I know absolutely nothing about this story."

Committed

The Ivory Coast international was linked with a switch to the Italian giants last summer before he decided to commit to The Blues and see out his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho believes Drogba is unlikely to leave Chelsea anytime soon, despite enduring an up and down season that has been hampered by injury and suspension.

"I know on the other hand that Drogba is part of the history of Chelsea and, from afar, it seems to me that he is and will be a Chelsea player," he concluded.
