Almost every top coach in world football has been linked with the vacant manager’s job at Stamford Bridge, following the sacking of Avram Grant last week.

One of these has been Milan’s Carlo Ancelotti, and Galliani has responded humorously to the speculation.

"We are in negotiations with Chelsea,” Galliani joked to journalists as he was leaving the Lega Calcio offices today.

“I asked ‘The Blues’ for 50 million Euros. If they are willing to include Drogba in the deal also, then they can have him.”

The newly-turned comedian Galliani did not stop there with his jokes, as he was also asked about Alberto Gilardino, who today completed his transfer to Fiorentina.

"Yes, now we need two strikers,” he noted.

“Maybe we will even ask Chelsea for Shevchenko and, maybe we’ll get Mourinho as well, why not?.”

Mourinho is expected to succeed sacked Inter coach Roberto Mancini over the coming days.
