UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea are ready to open contract talks with striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044, whose current contract is set to expire in the summer.
The Man-of-the-match in the Champions League win over Bayern Munich can definitely be credited for playing a big role in helping the Blues’ secure their first European trophy. However, he has constantly been avoiding questions regarding his future, which
has led to doubts over his continued stay at Stamford Bridge.
The 34-year-old apparently wants at least a two-year contract extension with Chelsea, if he is to remain with the London side. However, the club are reportedly only interested in offering Drogba a one year contract, something he is expected to reject.
Drogba has been linked with a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 or a reunion
with Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.
However, after his performance in the Champions League final where he not only scored the equalizer but also scored the match winning penalty, the management at Chelsea are determined to retain the services of the striker, who has become somewhat of a legend.
Club chairman Bruce Buck revealed that Drogba had surpassed everyone’s expectations with his performance in the Champions League final, because of which http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 were eager to hold talks with him. He revealed the London side had already scheduled talks with
the player and his agent.
Buck said in an interview:
“Didier is a big-match player and he did it once again. Ron Gourlay is going to sit down with his agent this week and we'll see where it goes.
We have to do what's best for Chelsea Football Club and Didier has to do what's best for him.”
If Drogba were to leave Chelsea, it would bring an end to an eight year stay with the Blues. In that time he has made 337 appearances in all competitions, with 156 goals and 71 assists. The prolific striker has won the English Premier League title three
times, the FA Cup four times, the Football League Cup, the FA Community Shield twice and now the UEFA Champions League once.
