Mourinho & Drogba Linked With Milan Again

Portuguese boss Mourinho has been out of work since leaving Chelsea by mutual consent in September, but it was reported a couple of weeks ago that he has already signed a pre-contract agreement to take over from Carlo Ancelotti in June.


Large sections of the Italian press are of the firm belief that Mourinho will certainly be at San Siro for the beginning of the 2008/09 campaign, and according to the British tabloid newspaper The People, he will bring his former star striker Drogba with him.


Drogba is desperate to quit Stamford Bridge following Mourinho’s departure, and has come out publicly with his intentions.


“At the moment I think that at the end of the season I want to leave Chelsea,” the Ivory Coast star told Eurosport.

“I have played here for two or three years already and the departure of Mourinho certainly didn’t help me. On the contrary, it made my desire for a fresh start still greater.”


Any deal to bring Drogba to Milan would not be cheap though, and Chelsea are ready to demand £40m for the 29-year-old.
