Former Barcelona scout Lluis Lainz says Luis Enrique will not consider joining Chelsea midseason.

Lainz is close to Enrique and insists even if Antonio Conte is sacked, he won't consider the Blues job before the summer.

"I don't know if Luis has had contact yet or whether Chelsea intend to hire him," he told The Sun.

"But my sources tell me for sure he won't agree to sign until the end of the season."

Enrique has been out of work since leaving Barcelona in the summer.
