Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Chelsea have made a bid for Everton defender John Stones, but has not revealed if they will go back with an increased offer.
Sky sources understand the Premier League champions are likely to make a higher offer for the England international after having an initial bid of £20m rejected.
Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ on Chelsea's pre-season tour in Montreal, Mourinho said: “We made a bid, the bid is there and Everton have the power to accept it or refuse it.
"This is between John Stones and Everton and I don’t speak about him because he is an Everton player.
“If we made a bid it is because we like the player, we don’t make bids for players we don’t like, but we respect Everton and respect every club that has a player and it is up to them - everything is in their hands.”
