Chelsea prepare bid for Real Madrid playmaker Van der Vaart

Chelsea are preparing a bid for Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.

The Dutch playmaker will not be blocked by Real should he decide to leave Madrid after the World Cup.

Chelsea are keen and are prepared to offer £10 million for the midfielder.

Van der Vaart would arrive at Chelsea to take charge of their midfield creativity, with Michael Ballack, Deco and Joe Cole all leaving Stamford Bridge.
