The agent of Ghana midfield star Michael Essien has refuted reports his client is on the verge of joining Spanish giant Real Madrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Football\u2019s \u2019special one\u2019 Jose Mourinho is believed to have step up the chase to lure the Ghana international as a possible replacement for Lassana Diarra who is expected to leave the club next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mourinho was in charge when Essien joined Chelsea for \u00a324.4million in 2005 and the duo have been close ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n

But his agent, Fabien Piveteau, said: \u201cHe regularly has Jose Mourinho on the phone because they know each other well and have got on with each other since Jose was in charge of Chelsea\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut Real Madrid has never really appealed to him. Michael will stay at Chelsea, where he has another four years left on his contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very happy there, in a great city and a very good club which comes up against very good teams week in, week out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
