Jose Mourinho reveals Tottenham stance on Danny Rose amid contract termination talk

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho says he has allowed defender Danny Rose to do all he can to leave the club this summer but that the defender's agent has failed to find him a new club.

The 30-year-old, still at Tottenham, is said to be in talks to cancel his contract in north London after he was not named in Mourinho squad for the 2020-21 Premier League campaign.

Rose spent the second half of last term on loan at Newcastle United, making eleven appearances, and returned to Spurs hopeful that he could secure a move elsewhere, says Mourinho, but he has failed to do so.

"Danny is not part of our squad," he said asked about his future.

"Danny wanted very, very much to leave in the January window last season. Why? Because he wanted to play and play and play.

"Then he went to Newcastle and I immediately had the feeling of being a player of his dimension that, thinking about Euros, I thought our future would be [Ben] Davies and [Ryan] Sessegnon.

"Then we had the possibility to get [Sergio] Reguilon and I thought that would be a good opportunity for Ryan to get game time and develop.

"With Danny, the players and agents make the market," he added. "If the agent didn't find a solution for Danny to move then it's a question you have to ask him."

Rose, who has been at Tottenham ever since he completed a switch from Leeds United way back in 2007, has made 214 appearances for the club and was a regular between 2013 and 2019.
