http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/premiership/article1174264.ece Abramovich pulling strings in Carlos deal By Jason Burt Published: 14 July 2006 Chelsea are to push ahead with their interest in signing Roberto Carlos from Real Madrid - with the club's owner, Roman Abramovich, rather than the manager, Jose Mourinho, emerging as the driving force behind the deal. (阿布比莫里尼奥更爱卡洛斯，透过私人关系连系卡洛斯。) If the 33-year-old left-back signs for the Premiership champions it will be the second major transfer this summer, afterthe arrival of Andriy Shevchenko, which was also conducted by Abramovich. (若卡洛斯真的来了，等於今年阿布亲自购买舍甫琴科和卡洛斯。) Chelsea are understood to have offered Carlos a three-year deal with wages of around ￡88,000-a-week. On Wednesday he informed Real that he wanted to leave after failing to win a contract extension. His current deal expires next summer. (据了解切尔西向卡洛斯提出三年合约，周薪￡88,000。他与皇马的合约明年到期。) Carlos is not Mourinho's usual type of preferred defender, although the Portuguese, who shares an agent, Jorge Mendes, with the player, voiced his admiration before the World Cup. (卡洛斯的经纪人和莫里尼奥是同一人，虽然卡洛斯这类後卫向来不是莫里尼奥所爱， 但在世界盃前，莫里尼奥还是说他很喜欢卡洛斯。) Even if they buy Carlos, Chelsea may also push ahead with plans to sign Ashley Cole from Arsenal. They realise that Carlos cannot play in every match and may use him sparingly while Cole, who is desperate to leave Arsenal, is available if a club triggers a ￡16m buy-out clause. (切尔西还想买本身也想离开阿森纳的A.Cole，但对方喊价￡16m。) Chelsea do not want to pay that price and are waiting to see if a deal can be concluded before the transfer window closes. They realise that with the implosion of Italian football and with Real hoping to sign Gianluca Zambrotta from Juventus, Cole's options may be limited. Chelsea have also shown some belated interest in Zambrotta. (切尔西不同意这个数字，切尔西和皇马双方对Zambrotta也感兴趣。) Chelsea hope to create room in their squad by selling Asier del Horno to Valencia. However the Spanish club have so far only offered around ￡4m for the 25-year-old left-back who only moved to England last summer for ￡8m from Athletic Bilbao. (瓦伦西亚出价￡4m买Del Horno，当初切尔西以￡8m购入。) He is keen to return to Spain, and Chelsea want to sell, but they also want to recoup most of their transfer fee. Valencia, whose technical director, Amedeo Carboni, was in London this week, have also tried to interest Chelsea in Marco Caneira, the Portuguese international who spent last season on loan at Sporting Lisbon. Caneira can play left-back as well as central defence and it appears likely that Chelsea are looking for a versatile defender. They are monitoring developments in Italy and are interested in Milan's Kakha Kaladze - the Georgian they tried to buy last summer - and the Czech international Marek Jankulovski. William Gallas, meanwhile, seems to be patching up his differences and is set to open new contract talks. (Del Horno自己想回西班牙，切尔西也想从这笔交易赚钱，瓦伦西亚还向切尔西推销可打 左後卫和中卫的Marco Caneira，切尔西还密切注意义甲的发展，并对Kakha Kaladze和 Jankulovski的有兴趣。Gallas似乎有意续约。) --
