Jose Mourinho rang Paul Pogba last month in attempt to persuade him to join Chelsea, according to reports in France.
The Blues were chasing the midfielder all summer but Juventus had no plans to part with their prized asset.
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain were thought to be frontrunners for the 22-year-old but it has now been revealed Chelsea made a big play for the Frenchman.
According to L'Equipe, Mourinho personally rang Pogba last month and tried to persuade him to move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea reportedly held preliminary talks with Juventus but the Italian champions stated the midfielder was priceless.
The player, too, was apparently keen to remain in Turin this season so as not to disrupt his preparation for Euro 2016.
