According to reports in the Spanish press, the sports director Jorge Valdano claims that the club's Brazilian star Roberto Carlos may move to Chelsea in the next few days. Abramovich's club should pay £20 million for the player.
Brazil has been linked with Chelsea for several months now. It is now being reported that the London club is offering the player a salary of £120,000 per week.
It is believed that the new Real Madrid coach, Jose Antonio Camacho, may sell several more of the royal club's stars who had a tragic end to the season. The team lost five consecutive games in the Spanish league and finished in fourth place. These failures forced president Florentino Perez to reconsider his transfer policy, which was based on buying superstars.
"We are waiting for an official fax from Chelsea confirming that they agree to pay £20 million," J. Valdano said in an interview with the newspaper "AS."
The player's comments are currently contradictory - he told the Brazilian BBC radio over the weekend: "I'm leaving Madrid, I'm leaving." However, after the match, his opinion seems to have changed dramatically: "I am sure I will stay here for another season. Now I need rest because I've played too many matches over the years. On Tuesday, I'm flying to Brazil, and my agent will call the club to settle all matters."
