Drogba Talks Have Begun - Galliani

In arguably his most frank admission yet, Milan chief Adriano Galliani has revealed that transfer talks for Chelsea star Didier Drogba have begun...

The Blues hit-man has been looking to leave the club since the departure of former coach and great mentor Jose Mourinho early on in the season.

Having been linked with all of European football's major heavyweights, many suspected the Cote d'Ivoire star's new club would be the same as Jose's, but with the Portuguese now bound for Internazionale, the favourites to sign Drogba are their city rivals Milan.

Milan have not been afraid of emphasising their need for a striker or two this summer, with Amauri - now officially of Juventus - being linked, along with the less likely Luca Toni, former club legend Andriy Shevchenko (who is now also of Chelsea, much against his own will it would seem), as well as Samuel Eto'o, Emmanuel Adebayor, Mario Gomez, Karim Benzema and of course Drogba, among others.

It seems as if the former Marseille man is their number one target, with Galliani revealing today that negotiations have now begun.

"[Milan coach] Carlo Ancelotti wants Drogba. He does," revealed Galliani. "I do not see anything wrong in a transfer, talks have already begun."
