Spanish daily AS is reporting that Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti has identified his transfer target to replace the ageing Deco in his squad for next season is Real Madrid's Rafael Van der Vaart. The English club will reportedly pay €11 million.
AS quotes The Sun, which has reported that conversations between the London club and the Dutchman's agent have already begun to discuss a deal with the hope of finalising an agreement before the World Cup, as it is anticipated that the Dutchman's transfer fee will increase after his appearance in South Africa.
After being largely discounted in the Real Madrid squad at the beginning of the season, not even being included in squad lists for friendly matches, van der Vaart has worked his way back into the Blancos rotation, providing pivotal performances. His most notable impact came with his last minute goal to give Real Madrid the three points against Sevilla - a win that saw them vault ahead of Barcelona into first place in the Liga table.
