“And his agent is not the kind of agent that is manipulative like others."
However, Mourinho admitted the main hurdle is finding a contract that all parties will find acceptable.
"His agent lets him think and decide by himself," Mourinho said.
"So the point is to agree the contract that the club wants to give and that the player wants to accept.

"And this is just my feeling [but] they are going to finish well.”
It was claimed last week that De Gea would be offered a world-record contract for a goalkeeper to quit United for PSG.
The Paris club supposedly have plans for a £60m contract to hand to Spain’s No 1 shot-stopper.
De Gea had a stunning save on Wednesday to stop Young Boys from scoring.

And the United boss says the moment illustrated why he’s the best goalkeeper.
He said: “I think David’s performance you have to say for 92 mins to be David there or myself would be the same, I can kick as well as him and zero saves, zero shots, to be David or myself would be the same.
“Don’t say it was an amazing performance, it was a zero performance with a save that only the best goalkeeper in the world can make and that’s a fair analysis of his performance.
“He didn’t touch the ball and against Crystal Palace he didn’t touch the ball.
“When he needs to touch the ball he’s the best, he’s the best."
