says he has had no contact from anyone at Paris Saint-Germain over possibly taking over from Christophe Galtier in the summer.

Galtier is widely expected to leave his managerial role in Paris at the end of the season and Mourinho has emerged as a leading candidate to replace him.

The former and boss is having an unspectacular season with Roma in Serie A, where they sit seventh in the table, but is into the semi-finals of the where they meet Bayer Leverkusen.

However, asked on Wednesday about any talks with the Parisian club, Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia: ‘If they called, they didn’t find me, I’ve never spoken to them.’

Mourinho has not moved to play down links with PSG, but has already spoken about how calm he is with the situation, pointing out he has another season on his Roma contract, but that might not mean a great deal.

‘I don’t talk to friends, comrades, journalists,’ Mourinho replied when asked about his future.

‘If a few months ago our CEO [Pietro] Berardi said he was sure I would stay, that is his interpretation. If this time Mr. Zazzaroni [a journalist] said what he said is an interpretation of him, I’m not talking to anyone.

‘The situation is clear, from a contractual point of view I still have one year on my contract. Football is football, sometimes contracts aren’t the most important thing.

‘All good, all calm, the next one is always the most important game.’

On the Europa League semi-final with Leverkusen, which starts with the first leg in Rome on Thursday night, Mourinho said: ‘They are among the best teams in Europe for counter-attacks.

‘They are very dangerous in this moment of the game, they defend, wait for the opponent to lose the ball and then it’s difficult to stop them. They have many fast attacking players.’
