Drogba accepts Chelsea time now up: Offers being considered

Didier Drogba is ready to leave Chelsea.

The Daily Express says he has finally given up hope of being offered the contract he wants by Chelsea and is ready to leave the club.

Drogba, who struck his 150th goal for Chelsea in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat by Aston Villa, is now ready to sign a pre-contract agreement, with several clubs offering him lucrative deals, including Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua.

Drogba, who did not even make it on to the bench at Wolves yesterday, was denied a two-year contract and expects to leave in the summer. He could go this month should relations worsen.

A source close to Drogba said: “Didier did want to stay. But it has gone too far now. He has a number of offers.”

Mr clueless Russian, is it not time you stop making jest of yourself publicly?

avb should just get rid of does old players nd unfavourable players like malouda kalou drogba lampard terry bosingwa. Just exactly d way barcellona pep guadiola did.then u c d future of chelsea.

u r the fool for blindly criticizing AVB for refusing to offer Drogba a 2-year contract extension, when barcelona when in their evolution stages they also got rid of their old players(deco,ronaldinho,eto'o etc),look at where they are today......am fully behind AVB cos i think the man has got some plans for the future.
