JOSE MOURINHO has been thwarted in a third bid to lure Steven Gerrard from Anfield.
Inter Milan made the Liverpool skipper a £30million top target ahead of Mourinho being confirmed boss.
The Italians also sounded out if the England international fancies the move.
But despite Gerrard’s concerns with Kop’s boardroom shambles, Mourinho and Inter were told they would be wasting their time making an official approach at the moment.
Gerro, 28, has made no secret of his despair at Liverpool’s failure to end the squabbles which undermined last season.
