Drogba set to walk out on Chelsea

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba could walk away from the club at the end of the season when his contract is up, according to his agent.

The Ivory Coast international has been offered a one-year extension, says the player’s representative Thierno Seydi, but the new deal is said to be not to their liking and they will be looking around for interest from other clubs who can offer him more money.

AC Milan are one side that could be an option for the 33-year-old, but Drogba’s agent insists at his age, the Ivorian has nothing to prove and will be looking for the best deal financially, with clubs such as LA Galaxy and Anzhi Makhachkala able to offer an attractive package for the veteran.

“Didier has had the offer of a one-year extension from Chelsea. That does not suit us,” Seydi was quoted as saying by The Sun.

“We know what we want, where we want to go and what offers we have.”

“AC Milan came in for Didier on loan with an option to buy but I said ‘No’ straight away. Their offer did not interest us.”

“At Didier’s age, he has nothing left to prove as a player. He will go where he is offered the most money.”

“It could be the United States, Russia, Qatar or somewhere else in Asia.”

“Once you are well into your thirties you have to go to a club where you can be certain you’ll be able to pay your bills.”

“LA Galaxy are a possibility among many others. He has been linked with Anzhi Makhachkala in Russia, as they pay well.”

“But neither Didier nor I have had an offer from them.”
