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. (阿布比莫里尼奧更愛卡洛斯，透過私人關係連繫卡洛斯。) 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. (若卡洛斯真的來了，等於今年阿布親自購買舍甫琴科和卡洛斯。) 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. (據了解切爾西向卡洛斯提出三年合約，週薪￡88,000。他與皇馬的合約明年到期。) 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. (卡洛斯的經紀人和莫里尼奧是同一人，雖然卡洛斯這類後衛向來不是莫里尼奧所愛， 但在世界盃前，莫里尼奧還是說他很喜歡卡洛斯。) 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. (切爾西還想買本身也想離開阿森納的A.Cole，但對方喊價￡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. (切爾西不同意這個數字，切爾西和皇馬雙方對Zambrotta也感興趣。) 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. (瓦倫西亞出價￡4m買Del Horno，當初切爾西以￡8m購入。) 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，切爾西也想從這筆交易賺錢，瓦倫西亞還向切爾西推銷可打 左後衛和中衛的Marco Caneira，切爾西還密切注意義甲的發展，並對Kakha Kaladze和 Jankulovski的有興趣。Gallas似乎有意續約。) --
