The Premier League champions have brought Asmir Begovic and Falcao into the club this summer, but have also lost the likes of Didier Drogba, Petr Cech and Ryan Bertrand.
And Mourinho believes that Chelsea are within their rights to spend heavily before the transfer window closes and moved to remind people that the Blues are in an excellent financial position after selling the likes of Kakuta, Romeu and David Luiz in recent times.
"In the Premier League if you win the title, how many teams are able to react against that? A lot of them can react," Mourinho said.
"You can go to Germany, how many teams can really react against Bayern Munich? In France, how many teams can react against Paris St-Germain’s power?
"Here, Man City won [in 2014] and Chelsea was not happy, Man United was not happy, Arsenal was not happy and Liverpool was not happy. Chelsea [brought in] Diego Costa, Fabregas, Courtois. Arsenal - Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil.
"This season Chelsea are champions; Liverpool and Man United bought. Arsenal, Petr Cech. People react. Man City, the first thing they did in the summer was Sterling.
"[Chelsea's] board has worked so well over the years in making money with sales that if somebody has the right - the moral right - to do that, then I say that Chelsea is one of them.
"You sell [Gael] Kakuta to Sevilla for a few million, you sell [Oriol] Romeu to Southampton for some more millions. You sell another player to another club for £5m.
"Even then you are not speaking about David Luiz, Felipe Luis. If one day Chelsea wants to make a very important buy Chelsea has economical conditions for that and also moral conditions for that."
