Reports have revealed the Blues are willing to offer the Ivory Coast international a contract extension for another 12 months. However, the striker is reportedly not happy with the deal on the table and is looking for a two year extension as opposed to just
one season.
If an agreement is not reached between the two parties then it is highly likely that Drogba could be heading towards a Stamford Bridge exit in the summer transfer window at the end of the season. A source close to the club revealed that while the club were
desperate to keep Drogba, they would not be bullied by his demands.
The source revealed:
“Everyone is keen to keep Didier but the owner [Roman Abramovich] won't be held to ransom.
He has to be realistic with his demands if he wants to continue playing at the highest level.”
Drogba has proved his worth for the club since joining in 2004, with his latest contribution scoring the winner in the FA Cup final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. The Blues have claimed the FA Cup this season and are now aiming for the UEFA Champions League.
The Ivorian will play a key role in the final against Bayern Munich, with many expecting him to lead the Blues to glory in Europe. Teammate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 revealed he was proud to play alongside Didier Drogba, who had done exceptionally well over the past
seasons.
Lampard said in an interview:
“He's such a handful.
It's been a pleasure to play with him and it would be a pleasure to carry on playing with him because he gives defenders such a hard time.
He is not just that big man. He scores goals that matter and that's priceless.”
He revealed he wished for Drogba to continue playing for the London side and scoring goals as he had done so in the past. According to the English midfielder Drogba scored when it mattered, which made him priceless for the team.
