Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says their big spending days are over.
Mourinho reckons Financial Fair Play will spell the end for Chelsea's days as big spenders - and says they will never match the £60million fee Manchester United have paid for Angel Di Maria, breaking Chelsea's transfer record of £50m for Fernando Torres in January 2011.
"We are making money to be able to spend money. In every transfer window Chelsea is losing players, is selling players," Mourinho told Eurosport.
"Chelsea in this moment is not a spender - Chelsea in this moment is making more money in transfers than the money we spend.
"So Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester (United) - all these huge teams, I think they have an advantage."
