"There is only one person in the world who can try to take them from [Real president] Florentino Perez and he is called Roman Abramovich."
And Claudio also revealed his thoughts on his future...
He added: "I've never spoken about it before, because of the respect towards those who pay me. Sure, it's difficult thinking I will stay with Chelsea, so I'm thinking about what I'll be doing next year.''
Quite frankly, I don't believe a word of this. Read quotes from Claudio in the English press, listen to his interviews... he is never this revealing. Even when it was confirmed that we had bidded for players, Claudio's approach when questioned about it was always cagey.
