Chelsea have reportedly been knocked back in their attempt to
complete a stunning £100million transfer for Real Madrid duo Gareth Bale
and Raphael Varane, with the Spanish giants not interested in selling
the pair.
The Sun have claimed
the Blues called Real to ask about the availability of Bale and Varane,
but were told that president Florentino Perez was not willing to let
the pair leave despite question marks over the future of coach Carlo
Ancelotti.
It is believed the Italian tactician could be on his way out of the
Santiago Bernabeu outfit this summer unless he wins the La Liga title or
the Champions League crown, although his future will not affect Bale or
Varane’s.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is thought to have been keen to recruit
Bale for his goals, assists and blistering pace while the Portuguese has
been an admirer of defender Varane from his coaching days at the
Bernabeu.
