And the paper even suggests Chelsea are "ready to listen to offers."

Marca claims Real are also keen on Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra, who could cost "about €20 million", and they are also supposedly following Lazio's Aleksandar Kolarov "very closely". Real, who spent more than €250m last summer on the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, are currently top of the Primera Liga on goal difference from Barcelona.
