The Portuguese insisted he had the opportunity to sign both players before they joined Manchester United, but decided against them due to their high salary demands and Financial Fair Play restrictions.
"Jorge (Mendes, Mourinho's agent, who is also the agent of both players) told me Di Maria and Falcao are his players and he has to find solutions for them," Mourinho is quoted as saying by The Sun.
"But if Chelsea doesn't have the financial capacity to pay eight, nine or ten million euros a year, because of (financial) fair play, of course Mendes has to think about his players.
"We couldn't bring Falcao or Di Maria because I didn't want to, either. I can't have a player earning 10 million when others earn three, four or five. That would have caused an explosion."
