Arjen Robben's father insists the winger will sign a new five-year deal with Chelsea.
In his role as his son’s representative, Hans Robben has also denied claims from Real Madrid that negotiations have been opened about a move.
The Holland international, 23, has two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge but is expected to tie up a new deal in the next fortnight.
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon will be a guest at Robben’s wedding to childhood sweetheart Bernadien Elliert tomorrow and the midfielder’s father believes his future at Chelsea is assured.
He said: “We are nearly finished negotiating with Chelsea and Arjen will stay another five years with the club.”
Doubts were raised yesterday when Madrid president Ramon Calderon said: “We are in talks with Chelsea and the player, they are at an early stage but we hope to sign him. Bringing Robben was one of my pledges when I was running for president and still remains the case.”
It follows Bayern Munich being strongly linked with a move for Robben, but his father dismissed the latest transfer talk.
Hans Robben said: “I did not speak to Calderon, I never met him or anyone from Real Madrid and did not speak to them.”
The Madrid president made a similar claim last summer and landed himself in trouble with Chelsea, who wrote to FIFA to complain, but the club have not yet responded this time.
