Real Madrid to include Van der Vaart in bid for Chelsea ace Drogba

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is ready with a £20 million bid for Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

The Daily Star says Mourinho will be told by Chelsea that their 32-year-old hitman is not for sale.

That will not stop Mourinho trying to snap him up, however, and Drogba’s agent, Thierno Seydi, has admitted that anything could still happen with his client before the end of the transfer window.

Seydi said: "Until the transfer window closes ­anything is possible with footballers."

Mourinho now plans to have a meeting with his club’s general director Jorge Valdano.

The Argentine chief wants to off-load some players and will try to use Dutchman Rafael van der Vaart in part exchange for Drogba.
