Drogba turns down Chelsea extension

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has put Europe's biggest clubs on red alert, after his agent admitted that talks with the Blues over a new contract had stalled. Drogba is reportedly being chased by AC Milan.

Thierno Serdi revealed that Chelsea's most recent offer does not meet the terms of the Ivorian striker, and that a move away could be the best solution next summer.


Seydi said: "Didier has had the offer of a one-year extension from Chelsea. That does not suit us.


"We know what we want, where we want to go and what offers we have.


"AC Milan came in for Didier on loan with an option to buy but I said 'No' straight away. Their offer did not interest us.


"At Didier's age, he has nothing left to prove as a player. He will go where he is offered the most money.


"It could be the United States, Russia, Qatar or somewhere else in Asia.


"Once you are well into your thirties you have to go to a club where you can be certain you'll be able to pay your bills.


"LA Galaxy are a possibility among many others. He has been linked with Anzhi Makhachkala in Russia, as they pay well."
