Mijatovic: Chelsea raid

Real Madrid's sport chief Predrag Mijatovic has claimed that a move for some of Chelsea's talented stars could happen over the January transfer window. Michael Ballack, Didier Drogba and Andrei Shevchenko are all reportedly considering a move.

"Working in the winter market isn't easy," said Mijatovic. "To sign a player who cannot play in the Champions League is never a good idea, unless he is a great one and he really wants to leave."

Didier Drogba is rumoured to be disappointed that Mourinho has left, while Shevchenko and Ballack are both unhappy and disillusioned with their lack of football at Chelsea.
