Chelsea are lining up a move
for Real Madrid midfielder
Wesley Sneijder.
The News of the World says the Blues have all but given
up on signing top target Franck Ribery from Bayern Munich - and
will switch attention to the Dutch international.
Sneijder's position at the Bernabeu is in doubt after the
arrival from Manchester United
of Cristiano Ronaldo.
And Chelsea will try to take
advantage to pull off a cut-price deal for the 25-year-old, who
signed for £22.5million just two years ago.
Sneijder said: "I'd like to stay and hope coach Manuel
Pellegrini will give me a chance but there are many rumours."
