Chelsea move closer for Real Madrid's Roberto Carlos

Real Madrid superstar Roberto Carlos is closer to a move to Chelsea.

The Brazilian international admitted last week that he could be forced out of Real after being the subject of abuse from the club's boo-boys last season.

Roberto Carlos is entering the final year of his contract and wants a new, four year deal at Real. But the Madrid club are only offering two.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is determined to land the Brazilian, who will help Chelsea's push into the Asian merchandising market.
