Branislav Ivanovic is in a quandary as Jose Mourinho wants him at Real Madrid, according to The Sund.

The Chelsea defender insists he is happy at the club but is aware The Special One is tracking him.
 
Ivanovic, banned for the Champions League final triumph over Bayern Munich, admitted: “I know what is being said about my future.
 
“I know there is an interest from Madrid, who are following me. But it’s not the time to talk about it now.
 
“I’m am very happy with Chelsea. I have just won the Champions League, a change is complicated. I am very happy in London.”

It was reported earlier that Real Madrid are ready to pay £15 million for the 27-year-old Serbian defender.

Chelsea have not ruled out doing a deal as long as the Spanish giants are prepared to meet their own £20m valuation, The Sun reported.

The FA Cup champions are looking to profit from the sale of a  player they signed from Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow in January 2008.

With Mourinho seeking to reinforce his defensive capabilities, Ivanovic is considered a perfect fit because of his versatility, the report added.
