As Drogba heads towards the Ivory Coast to participate in the Africa’s Cup of Nation, many of the pundits are wandering about his future with Chelsea in wake of reports by Press TV.
The pundits are also wandering about the future of The Great One after he refused to become The National Coach of England.
Press TV and the Sports Magazine As reported again about Drogba leaving Chelsea for AC Milan as soon as his contract expires while Mourinho has been picked to succeed Ancellotti as Coach of the team. BBC Sports made similar reports. The Daily Sports have also added fuel to the speculations by reporting on Drogba and The Great One going to Milan.
Drogba has been rumored to want to leave Chelsea but these were squashed after a conversation with Grant. Drogba retracted his earlier statements and said that he wanted to play for Chelsea. Drogba had also stated that he did want to discuss his future with Chelsea until he “meets privately at the end of the [2007-2008] season”.
As is also reporting that FC Barcelona is interested in replacing Rijkaard with Mourinho but he prefers Milan to Barcelona. This report has also been repeated by Press TV.
While originally stating that Drogba and Mourino would be ideal for AC Milan, I decided to review all of the reports extensively. I now conclude that either the reports are true with the people and clubs involved withholding comments or that the clubs and players involved are just experimenting with this type of news in order to see the reaction of the press.
I will not believe unless there is proof. These stories appear to be too good to be true.
