Lamps Leaving It Until January?
Quote:
The Frank Lampard saga has taken yet another twist, as News of the World claims the Chelsea midfielder will wait until January before sealing his exit from the club…
Internazionale’s advances for the England international over the past few weeks have thus far come to nought, as the Blues are unwilling to sell one of their fan favourites.
The Nerazzurri have had their most recent bid of ₤7.95million rejected and may have to pay ₤10million or higher if they are to prise the 30-year-old away from west London this summer.
But the Italian champions may not be too worried if they cannot reach an agreement before the end of August, as the English press is reporting that Lampard is intent on leaving and will sign for the Milan club as soon as the transfer window reopens mid-winter.
The former West Ham man is in the final year of his contract and has been unable to come to any sort of consensus with the Blues regarding a new deal, having reportedly rejected a four-year ₤140,000-per-week offer.
Thus, entering the final year of his contract, Lampard is free to talk to suitors without his club’s permission, and as of January 1 will have the opportunity to pen a pre-contract before making the switch in the summer. He will supposedly move to San Siro on a ₤160,000-per-week deal.
This would see the London native reunite with Inter boss Jose Mourinho by way of a free transfer – an outcome which would surely enrage Blues owner Roman Abramovich, who ushered the ex-Porto coach out of Stamford Bridge in September after a colossal falling out.

If he wants to go, I would like to go this summer. I can't wait 6 months to see if he's staying or not.
Anyway... maybe Deco could be his Replacement. Deco, Ballack, Joey and Essien, would be a great 4 in the midfield
