Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has conceded Frank Lampard is
unlikely to move to the San Siro for another year.
The Italian champions have been linked with the 30-year-old
England international all summer but no deal has been reached, and
the Portuguese admits the transfer will now be 'difficult' to
complete.
Instead, he believes Lampard is more likely to move on a free
transfer if and when his Stamford Bridge contract expires next
summer. 'For Lampard, it will be easier to play with Chelsea until
the end of his contract rather than break it now, all of a sudden,'
said the former Chelsea boss. 'It seems to me difficult for him to
be able to come here now, it's easier that he comes next
season.'
