Liverpool's Gerrard favours Chelsea over Real Madrid

Want-away Liverpool star Steven Gerrard will favour Chelsea over Real Madrid should the two European giants table offers for him.
 
The Times says Gerrard has never had any great desire to play abroad. At his most restless last season, he imagined Chelsea, rather than Real, to be his most likely destination.

Sources close to the player indicate that he "wouldn't be against" moving to Spain, but his preference has always been to stay in England, which is all the encouragement that José Mourinho, the Chelsea manager, will need in his pursuit of a player who famously rejected his advances a year ago.
