Jose Mourinho has refused to give up on the battle to sign Frank Lampard and insists that he is prepared to wait for the England midfielder to make up his mind.
Chelsea have refused a bid from Inter believed to be around the £8 million pound mark but that has not killed off interest from Mourinho.
Mourinho is keen to land a central midfielder before the new season starts and has identified Lamps as the man for the job "The transfer window is open until August 31 and we need a midfielder," Mourinho told a news conference on Inter's first day back for pre-season training.
"Lampard is at Chelsea, but I have worked really well with him.
"I worked with Frank for three-and-a-half years, there is an unforgettable relationship. But in this moment I respect players and the clubs."
