Real Madrid Target Carvalho
Spanish news daily Sport says Real Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatovic was in London earlier this week to begin talks with Chelsea central defender Ricardo Carvalho...
The former Yugoslav international was seen at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, apparently watching the second leg of the Champions League Semi-finals between Chelsea and Liverpool.
Sport.es understands that the purpose of Mijatovic's of trip to England was, in fact, to have an opportunity to meet Ricardo Carvalho's agent, Jorge Mendes.
The Portuguese international seems to be high on the shortlist of The Merengues, who are reported to be looking for a replacement for Fabio Cannavaro.
The Italian's future at Santiago Bernabéu has been the subject of intense speculation since the club dismissed coach Fabio Capello.
Although Carvalho has a valid contract with Chelsea until 2010, he has allegedly been eager for a new challenge since José Mourinho left The Blues in September
