Chelsea are closing on a deal for Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez.

AS says Real will not sell until they complete a deal for Real Betis starlet Dani Ceballos.

And that will lead to the sale of Rodriguez with Chelsea, United and PSG to scrap for his signature.

The winger was used sparingly by Real last season, making just 22 La Liga appearances.

Chelsea are now the preferred choice for the Spanish side to sell to with United also chasing Alvaro Morata, despite a deal for Romelu Lukaku being imminent, and PSG eyeing Kylian Mbappe.

Zidane has reportedly asked Real to listen to offers Rodriguez as he is not in his plans for next season.
