Real Madrid go for Chelsea stars Mourinho, Lampard

Real Madrid are chasing Chelsea stars Jose Mourinho and Frank Lampard for next season.

The Sun says the Spanish giants have contacted Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes about him succeeding Fabio Capello.

And they are paving the way for the Chelsea boss and midfield star Lamps to arrive at the Bernabeu in a sensational double deal - with the England ace costing a bargain £8.5million.

Real want Mourinho to rejuvenate their club after years of under-achievement and they see Lamps as an ideal replacement for USA-bound David Beckham.

A ruling from the Spanish court on last year's presidential election at Real will be made on January 29 and a new contest could be held within a month.

That means current supremo Ramon Calderon may have to re-stand, having lost the support of the fans and media because of Capello's failure to bring success.

Mourinho, 43, is on the wanted list of all potential presidential candidates, however, and assurances have been given he will be handed complete control of football matters.

Real believe they can use FIFA rules to their advantage and land Lampard as Becks' replacement for a cut-price fee as he is yet to agree a new contract with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Lamps, 28, will have two years left on his £110,000-a-week, five-year deal in May.

Under FIFA regulations, if he serves notice he intends to leave Chelsea within 15 days after the last game of the season, they will be powerless to stop him going.

Real would have to pay compensation to cover the remainder of his contract.
