Jose Mourinho attempted to change Real Madrid president Florentino Perez's mind about signing Chelsea striker Didier Drogba yesterday.
El Mundo Deportivo says Mourinho was desperate to sign a centre-forward before the summer market shut and made several approaches to Florentino during the day about reviving a bid for Drogba.
But at each turn, Mourinho was met with a 'no' from Florentino.
The Real coach has admitted concern over his striker options with only Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema available to him.
