REAL DEAL ... Rafael van der Vaart
Boss Carlo Ancelotti has been tracking Real Madrid's
£10m Dutch playmaker for several months.
Talks with the representatives of the player have
already begun about a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Ancelotti is keen to play Van der Vaart, 27, in his
diamond midfield behind the two strikers.
The Dutch ace is widely regarded as one of the most
creative players in Europe but has been frozen out at Real.
Chelsea are keen to finalise a deal before the World
Cup finals as they fear Van der Vaart's price will rocket if he
does well.
With Deco destined to go home to Brazil next season,
Ancelotti wants a reliable ball player to supply his strikers.
