Real Madrid are lining up a move for Chelsea star Ricardo
Carvalho.
The defender, 29, is one of those said to have been most affected
by the departure of Jose Mourinho.
He had a close relationship with the Blues' former manager, after
patching up their friendship following a row a couple of seasons
ago.
Mourinho persuaded him to sign a five-year deal towards the end of
last season a contract that would see him end his career in the
Premier League. But with his mentor gone, Carvalho could be open to
a move and Real are getting ready to test Chelsea's resolve.
The length of the player's contract means the Spanish giants will
have to put in a serious offer to tempt the Londoners into
selling.
And that would probably mean a figure in the region of
£10million.
