Chelsea Transfer News: Blues In Surprise Double Swoop for Real Madrid Stars - Report

Mar 27, 2012 02:45 PM EDT

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly lining up a very ambitious bid!

The Russian billionaire is, according to a report in The Telegraph, lining up an £83m summer raid for Real Madrid duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain.

The Real Madrid stars are believed to be top of the list for summer targets at Stamford Bridge, particularly since two of the club's players - Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou - are both out of contract at the end of this season and star signing Fernando Torres has struggled to make an impact since arriving from Liverpool for £50m over a year ago.

However, any talk of a move for the aforementioned Madrid pair would depend entirely on Jose Mourinho's decision to return to the London club, since he would have to play a vital role in persuading the players to leave Madrid.
