Arjen Robben has revealed that he is ready to stay and
fight for a place at Chelsea if a move to Real Madrid does not
materialise.
The Dutch forward has two years left on his contract at Stamford
Bridge, but is widely expected to move to the Bernabéu this
summer.
Florent Malouda's arrival at the Blues from Olympique Lyonnais
could see Robben slip down the pecking order in José Mourniho's
squad.
Madrid president, Ramón Calderón, has said publicly that Robben is
a target, but it will be down to new coach Bernd Schuster if he
wants the former PSV star.
If a firm offer does not arrive, then the 23-year-old has stated
that he is happy to stay in London and help the Blues to fight for
the Premiership title and the Champions League.
"I have known that Real Madrid have wanted me for some time, but at
the moment I'm a Chelsea player," he said.
"We are dealing with two European institutions of the highest level
that are always a force in the Champions League and for whom any
player would like to sign.
"I do not know if there has been any contact between the two clubs,
and, if not, then I will be a Chelsea player for the next two
seasons."
