Drogba diplomatic on future

02.05.2008

CHELSEA star, Didier Drogba has refused to distance himself from a possible transfer to Inter and said he is flattered to be linked to Real Madrid.

The Ivory Coast international declared earlier in the season that he had never been happy at Chelsea and that he wanted to leave the club from day one.

Since then he has tried to calm the atmosphere, even kissed his badge after scoring, but he has not rubbished the whispers about a possible move to Inter or Real.

“There are a lot of rumours linking me with a number of clubs,” Drogba told L’Equipe. “But I have two years remaining on my contract.

“At the moment, I am focused on Chelsea and our run-in until the end of the season.”“The rumours with me moving to Inter with Jose Mourinho? I have heard these reports.

“They talk about me at Real Madrid too, it is flattering but not topical.” Chelsea moved level with Manchester United at the top of the table with victory over The Red Devils last weekend, but he feels they may still be pipped to the title.

He added: “We are still aiming for the double, but Manchester United have to make a mistake and I cannot see them failing against West Ham or Wigan.
