Real agree deal with Robben
Sunday, 1 July 2007
MADRID, Jun 30 (AFP): Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Chelsea's flying Dutch winger Arjen Robben according to reports in a Spanish newspaper Saturday.
AS claims that Real have come to an agreement with the father and agent of Robben and are waiting for Chelsea to rubber stamp a 20-million-euro transfer.
Robben is currently in negotiations with Chelsea over a contract extension until 2012, although he has not always been in favour with the club's Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho.
The 23-year-old is thought to be among Real's top three summer transfer targets alongside AC Milan's Brazilian playmaker Kaka and Arsenal's Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
