Chelsea say Robben claims not Real

CHELSEA have moved swiftly to reject claims by Real Madrid presidential candidate Ramon Calderon that Dutch winger Arjen Robben would be among his signings if he wins power.

Calderon’s amazing claim that Robben had already signed a pre-contract agreement was announced just 24 hours after another candidate, Juan Villar Mir, said Cristiano Ronaldo was ready to join the club should he win the forthcoming elections.

Manchester United reacted quickly to deny any Ronaldo sale and now Chelsea have followed suit.

Further revelations from the Real election race are expected on Thursday when Lorenzo Sanz is to announce his captures – with Ashley Cole rumoured to be amongst his targets.
