Real Madrid president: We want Roma's Chivu, Alexis.

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has confirmed they're chasing Roma defender Cristian Chivu and Getafe youngster Alexis.

Calderon revealed their plans on Tuesday after being asked about their interest in Marseille sensation Franck Ribery.

"I've listened to [sporting director] Predrag Mijatovic speak highly of Ribery, but at the moment we're also thinking of signing a defender like Alexis or Chivu," Calderon told the Marca newspaper.
