Chelsea are being heavily linked with a potential move for Raphael Varane, but the Real Madrid man has suggested he will not be leaving the club.

Well, not in January at least.

"I'm 100 percent with the team and feeling happy," said the 21-year-old, per Charles Perrin of Express. 

"I have a contract until 2020. I'm calm and when I've played, I've tried to do well. Sergio Ramos and Pepe play more than me, but I try to do the best I can."

With that Ramos-Pepe partnership to compete with, it remains to be seen how long Varane is willing to wait for his chance at the Bernabeu.

Mixed Messages on Mohamed Salah's Exit from Chelsea

His agent says he is in talks with Roma, but Jose Mourinho has denied Mohamed Salah is poised for a transfer out of the club.

"I spoke to Roma, but the cost of the operation is very high. He is on big wages at the moment and would like to maintain them. We'll wait and see what happens," Salah's agent, Oliver Kronenberg, told Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport (per Metro).

Mourinho sees things differently. Speaking after Chelsea's 5-0 thrashing of Swansea City, the manager said:

"

I have a very short squad, I need everybody.

For Salah to leave someone has to come, and I don't think we are going to let Salah go on loan and then spend some money to bring somebody else in.

So I don't think so, unless my club comes to me and says Salah goes on loan and we are going to buy a £50million player.

"
