On Robben, he said Mijatovic had met Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich at the World Cup in Germany and reported back that an agreement was possible in theory.

"I know that he was in touch with the player and it seems that everything will be okay, and the player wants to come here to Real Madrid," he added.

Calderon said Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy was another option but Capello would have to make the final decision.

Asked whether Brazilian striker Ronaldo would be staying, he replied: "I can't say anything about that honestly because I have to know what Capello thinks about that.

"From my point of view, he's a magnificent player -- perhaps the best striker in the world -- but it's not my decision. It's something that has to be decided by the coach and lets see what he decides."

The future of midfielder Robert Carlos was similarly uncertain, with Calderon saying he believed Chelsea had made the Brazilian an offer.
