Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is expected to reject Chelsea - even if he does walk away from the club at the end of the season.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich had targeted the Spaniard as a candidate to be Chelsea's next boss, along with former manager Jose Mourinho of Real Madrid.

But even though he could wave the cheque-book at Guardiola, the former Spain star - who has been Barca boss for four years - seems intent on taking a complete break from the game, says the Daily Star.
