Mourinho deal 'not even close'

Real Madrid fans will have to play the waiting game to see Jose Mourinho land at the Bernabeu stadium, according to Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti.

Reports in Spain claim Mourinho's move to Real could be done in a matter of hours, but Moratti offered a different view.

Asked if everything was settled with Real Madrid for Mourinho's transfer, Moratti told the club's official website: "No. Not even close, actually quite the opposite.

"We haven't even started (to discuss it). We will need a bit more time."

Mourinho, who is under contract with Inter until June 2012, led the Nerazzurri to arguably the best season in club history with a Coppa Italia, Serie A and Champions League treble.

The former Chelsea coach does have a get-out clause in his deal which he is set to exercise provided a fee of 16 million euros is paid to Inter.
