John Stones wants to be given the chance to discuss the possibility of moving to Chelsea with the Premier League champions ready to make a fresh bid to take the centre half to Stamford Bridge.
Sources close to the player say the Everton defender would relish the chance to play Champions League football but he is unlikely to create trouble in the way Raheem Sterling did to force his move from Liverpool. But the fact that he is now unsettled will give way for Chelsea's second £26m bid, expected imminently.
Roberto Martinez claims the former Barnsley centre back will not be sold and even criticised Chelsea for making their approach public.
Mourinho has rejected that stance, however, and would like to add Stones to his squad before the start of the new Premier League season to eventually replace John Terry, 34, who recently penned a new one-year deal.
