Feb 25, 2014 12:25 AM EST

Chelsea is first in the Premier League table standings and heading into their Champions League match on Wednesday, manager Jose Mourinho remarked on two possible moves for the club and how they would be nearly impossible, referring to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain.

According to ESPNFC.com, Mourinho spoke to reporters about potential Chelsea moves and some rumors that have come up heading into their UEFA champions League match against Galatasaray, saying that star Eden Hazard would remain with the club. Mourinho previously was with Ibrahimovic at Inter Milan and the report also mentioned Cavani, who has been linked to Chelsea but Mourinho mentioned that the move was also unlikely.

Hazard has been playing well for the Blues and Chelsea is currently leading the English Premier League and Mourinho said that he expects him to remain. The Blues have a match against Fulham after the Champions League leg and then they host Tottenham at Stamford Bridge before playing Aston Villa at Villa Park. Later in the season the club plays against Arsenal once again and that will be at home at Stamford Bridge and they also will visit the Anfield.

"It's impossible," he told the Canal Football Club. "He's happy in Paris. I know that because we're friends and we're in contact. I don't think PSG, with their economic potential, will ever want to open the door for him. It's mission impossible."
