Representatives of London strictly refused to comment on the statement of Real Madrid defender Roberto Carlos, claiming that the English champions want to see him in London next season.
"Nothing has been confirmed yet, but I was told that Chelsea wants me. I told them that they have to talk to Real, because I still have a valid contract," said the player.
Meanwhile, a Chelsea representative commented briefly on these reports: "R. Carlos can say whatever he wants, and we will not comment on the situation."
The experienced Brazilian's contract with the Royal club is valid for another year, but it is believed that the 33-year-old player could leave the team after the new Real president elections. This will also announce a new head coach, replacing interim Juan Ramon Lopez Caro.
It is certain that a team that has finished second in the Spanish championship and has not won any titles for three years will face major changes in the summer. Among the players who could leave Madrid, Roberto Carlos, who is increasingly making mistakes, is mentioned.
It is reported in the media that Real could expect to receive Spanish player Asier Del Horno in exchange for R. Carlos.
