Van der Vaart denies Chelsea rumors
Monday, March 30, 2009
Rafael van der Vaart has denied reports suggesting that he is close to agreeing to a move to Chelsea from Real Madrid.
The 26-year-old has struggled to make his mark at the Bernabeu since his switch from Hamburg last summer, but van der Vaart insists that he is focused on matters in hand with Real.
He told his official website: "I hear there are rumors about me wanting to go to Chelsea, but I have never said that.
"I have not yet decided on my future. I don't know anything about it.
"At Real Madrid a lot of things are going to happen in the summer, a new president and maybe a new coach. So I'll just wait and see."
The Dutch playmaker had previously been quoted as saying: "Fortunately for me Chelsea want me, so I have everything clear.
"If Guus Hiddink remains at the helm of Chelsea, I hope that the signing will be closed soon. I want to leave Real Madrid."
