    <div class="mxb"> <div class="sh"> Robben set to complete Real move </div> </div> <font size="2"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="203" align="right"> <tbody><tr><td> <div> [​IMG] <div class="cap">Dutch international Robben spent three seasons at Stamford Bridge</div> </div> </td></tr> </tbody></table></font>

    <font size="2">Arjen Robben is poised to complete a move to Real Madrid after the Spanish champions agreed a fee with Chelsea. </font></p>

    <font size="2">The 23-year-old winger has been linked with the Bernabeu outfit for most of the summer but the fee appeared to be a sticking point between the clubs. </font></p>

    <font size="2">However, Chelsea announced that the transfer had been settled subject to the Dutchman agreeing personal terms on a five-year deal and passing a medical. </font></p>

    <font size="2">The transfer fee is thought to be in the region of &pound;21m. </font></p>

    <font size="2">The announcement came on a busy day for Real, who agreed a deal for Manchester United's Gabriel Heinze as well as the sale of Cicinho to Roma. </font></p>

    <font size="2"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="208" align="right"> <tbody><tr> <td width="5">[​IMG]</td> <td class="sib606"> <div class="sihf">
    </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </font></p>

    <font size="2">Robben has been at Chelsea since joining from PSV Eindhoven in 2004, scoring 19 goals in 104 appearances at Stamford Bridge. </font></p>

    <font size="2">However, Real president Ramon Calderon repeatedly expressed an interest in bringing the winger to the Bernabeu. </font></p>

    <font size="2">This summer, Robben was offered a new Chelsea contract but opted instead to push for a move to the Spanish capital. </font></p> <font size="2">He will join fellow Dutchmen Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wesley Sneijder and Royston Drenthe at the Bernabeu. </font>

    This is going to be great for Real, to have four of arguably best players from Holland (after Persie) play for them. </p>

    Robben, Nistelrooy, Sneijder and Drenthe. I really like what Real has done so far. My favorites to win the La Liga. </p>
