Jose Mourinho insists he 'likes' working at Inter Milan amid
reports he is planning to activate a £5.5million buy-out
clause from his contract.
The former Chelsea manager is rumoured to be at the top of
Liverpool's list of candidates to replace Rafa Benitez if the
Spaniard leaves in the summer.
Juventus have made no secret of their interest in the
Spaniard and it is understood that talks are set to take place in
the summer regarding his future.
Mourinho has persistently been linked with a return to the
Premier League and Liverpool could be interested if the Portuguese
does leave Inter, where his relationship with club president
Massimo Moratti is said to be strained.
"The club and I signed a very objective contract until 2012,
because we want to work together," Inter boss Mourinho is quoted as
saying in the News of the World.
"But there is a cancellation clause that Inter will pay me if
they want my departure and another that I will pay Inter if I want
to leave.
"It's all simple and very objective. There will never be a
never-ending story with us as has happened in the past with other
people. We are honest people with honest contracts and
objectivity."
He added: "How can my love for Italy have finished if I never
had any love for it? I like working at Inter. I like difficult
things. So I'm OK.
"My place is always in danger because I always coach clubs
which a lot of people would like to coach.
"I always leave teams set up for future years, because I
always leave excellent working conditions and structures for those
who arrive.
"But if my place is in danger after having won the league and
with me leading it again and having qualified for the Champions
League, imagine what it's like for those who cyclically fail to
meet their objectives."
