Real fail in bid to land Lampard

Lampard career stats

Frank Lampard's agent has claimed that Real Madrid offered £20m, plus England striker Michael Owen and midfielder Santiago Solari for the Chelsea star.

However, the Blues turned down the bid for the 27-year-old midfielder.

Agent Steve Kutner told the News of the World: "It is very flattering for Frank to be wanted by a club as big as Real.

"But Frank has just had an incredible season at Chelsea and as long as they want him he will give everything to help them win more and more trophies."

Lampard moved to Stamford Bridge from West Ham in an £11m deal in June 2001 and since then has become an integral part of the Chelsea team.

The England star helped his side clinch the Carling Cup and the Premiership title last season - Chelsea's first top-flight crown in 50 years.

And in May he was rewarded for his efforts by winning the Football Writers' Footballer of the Year award.

It is believed that Real were ready to up his wages from a reported £80,000-a-week to £90,000-a-week, while also offering him an image rights package.

The bid would also seem to suggest that former Liverpool striker Owen may no longer have a future at Real.

The 25-year-old had always insisted that he was happy at the Bernabeu.

However, he did admit earlier this month that he would have to leave if the team was strengthened and he could not be guaranteed a regular place.

Owen was linked with a move to Manchester United but Old Trafford assistant manager Carlos Queiroz dismissed the reports.
