Drogba Rocks Chelsea By Agreeing Milan Move

Didier Drogba has agreed a summer move to AC Milan, according to The Mirror, which claims the Chelsea striker will sign a three-year deal with Rossoneri in order to link up again with former Blues manager Jose Mourinho, whom the paper says will be replacing Carlo Ancelotti for next season.

Chelsea’s title-decider against Bolton Wanderers on Sunday could be Didier Drogba's last for the club in the Premier League if a report in The Mirror is accurate. It claims the Ivorian striker has agreed to join AC Milan this summer.

However, Drogba, 30, still has two years left to run on his £80,000-a-week contract at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea manager Avram Grant is not making any comment on the situation until he holds talks with the player at the end of a season in which the Blues could yet win a remarkable double.

Moreover, Milan sporting director Ariedo Braida earlier this week admitted that his club were unlikely to sign Drogba this summer and that the player may stay with the Blues.

Nevertheless, the latest story is hardly the best preparation for tomorrow's Premier League showdown with Bolton, which could sse Chelsea crowned as champions if they win while Manchester United draw or lose at Wigan.

The Mirror's report says Drogba has agreed to sign a three-year contract and link up again with his former boss at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho, who is said to be lined up as Carlo Ancelotti's replacement at the San Siro.

The newspaper adds that Chelsea want Drogba, who has had a strained relationship with coaching staff and team-mates since Mourinho left, to "stay and form a partnership with Nicolas Anelka, and will demand at least £15million for the Ivory Coast striker."
