Drogba interest confirmed - TalkSoccer

**Trim** · 12-10-2007, 06:21 PM

Didier Drogba's agent has admitted that a number of top clubs are pursuing the Ivorian star.

The Chelsea striker has been left considering his future following the departure of Jose Mourinho from Stamford Bridge.

Drogba was very close to Mourinho - who took him to Chelsea in 2004.

Real Madrid, Milan and Bayern Munich are all said to have expressed an interest in the 29-year-old - who was the top-scorer in the Premier League last year.

"Drogba is a player who is very desirable and I have received calls from some European clubs about the situation," Etienne Mendy told the Daily Mirror.

"The key question now is for Didi to work for Chelsea after the blow.

"But he and the team must score many goals to recuperate their confidence."

Who wouldn't want him, he's perfect.

He did love Jose, but I feel he will stay for at least another year after this.

If Drogba leaves can Jose be far behind?

If Drogba really does love Jose so much, then he'd at least wait to join up with Jose at his new club. It defeats the purpose to leave Chelsea because Mourinho left if he's not going to the same club as Jose.

ManuelD · 13-10-2007, 06:12 AM

They will stay in touch and if Drogba goes that will be the first indication of where Jose is going.

I can see him playing for Real Madrid someday...

**Sven** · 14-10-2007, 08:37 AM

Real Madraid fans wouldn't understand his brillance.

From time to time, Jose Mourinho' departure is influential Chelsea players that will not be easy to handle them by the new coach.

Drogba to demand move

Quote:

Didier Drogba is set to demand a move from Chelsea, according to reports in France.

The Ivory Coast star has become unsettled in West London following the departure of manager Jose Mourinho.

Last season's top-scorer in England has found Mourinho's departure hard to take, and now with Milan and Real Madrid circling, Drogba has admitted he cannot take life with Chelsea anymore.

Exit

"I want to leave Chelsea," he has told France Football - which will publish the full interview on Friday.

"Nothing can stop me from leaving now. Something is broken with Chelsea.

"The damage in the dressing room is big because we know now what happened and who caused Mourinho's departure."

Drogba insisted that no matter who Chelsea might sign next summer - he did not want to play for The Blues beyond this season.

"I know that Ronaldinho and Kaka are linked to come next season but even that won't change my mind," he continued.

Rumours of Drogba's unrest have been circulating ever since Mourinho's departure and his latest outburst would only seem to confirm that he does not have a long-term future at the club.

hehe, Chelsea and their supporters are losing the control.

I reckon Drogba wants to play for a real giant in Europe in his career. A club that not have got free capital to buy all the players they want from an controversial business man, but a club that have performed results through decades like Barca, Madrid, AC Milan, Juventus..

I don't think he will go to ManUtd or another club in EPL. Real Madrid and Barcelona have capital to bring him, but they've the strikers they want, even Drogba had reinforced the teams. Most likely is one of the Milano teams or Juventus, IMO ! But who knows, Drogba can still continue at Stanford Bridge.

Seing as he has 4 years left,

Have to be a move of around 50 million, concidering how much he's worth.

But like I said, he doesn't play that beutiful football Real madraid want, even though Drogba is proberly most skillfull player in EPL, (not a twat for doing it for no reason).

He plays direct, he's strong, I think Milan will go in for him if Madraid get Kaka, or something a long thoose lines,

Have to be a huge offer.

hk_on99 · 18-10-2007, 08:22 PM

Wouldn't mind a swap between AC and Chelsea for Kaka and Drogba.

Robinho4Ever · 18-10-2007, 08:33 PM

We don't need, and we don't want Drogba . . .

We don't want Drogba to play instead of "Prince Robinho", we want Robinho to have more minutes and experience !! Robinho is just brilliant, did anybody of you watch his assist to Alano (Brazil 5- Ecuador 0) ??

And don't you dare to say that Kaka is in his way to Chelsea, Kaka is in his way to MADRID :P

robinho · 18-10-2007, 08:43 PM

I can see drogba in AC milan and Kaka moves to play in chelsea
