Michael Ballack was omitted from Chelsea's Champions League squad
because he has agreed a switch to Real Madrid, according to The
People.
The Germany international was officially left out of Jose
Mourinho's 23-man squad because of an ankle injury, but the Sunday
tabloid reports Ballack has agreed a whopping £135,000-a-week deal
with the Galacticos.
The 30-year-old was linked with a move to Real just before the
transfer window closed at the end of August, with Bernd Schuster
confirming earlier this week that a deal had been close.
However, the Guardian reports Jose Mourinho will offer Ballack a
final chance to resurrect his Chelsea career if the midfielder
responds well to being left out of the club's Euro squad.
The Blues boss wants Ballack to accelerate his recovery from an
ankle injury and is hoping he will push himself to prove the boss
wrong.
