Betis president: Chelsea ahead of Real Madrid for Joaquin

Real Betis president Manuel Ruiz de Lopera has revealed he believes Joaquin is more likely to join Chelsea than Real Madrid if he is to leave the club.

"I have the feeling that if we transferred him, he is going to finish at another club that, is not perhaps Real Madrid," said Lopera, "because we have had offers that perhaps Madrid cannot match."

"And at any day in the future, I could answer Chelsea with a 'yes'."
