Real Madrid coach Mourinho admits deal unlikely for Chelsea defender Carvalho

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has played down talk of a move for Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho.

Carvalho is a player he coached at both Porto and Chelsea.

"Ricardo is also a good player, but he is at an age that, if somebody is looking to build a team for the future, he cannot think of him," he said.

"Ricardo belongs to the current moment. He is a man with a great professional and private life, so he has no problem when it comes to playing at a high level at the age of 32."
