Ballack Hesitant To Sign Chelsea Contract

Posted on 07. Jul, 2008 by Milox in Premiership

While his teammates are back to pre-season training, Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack is still relaxing in Germany following his country’s Euro 2008 final defeat just over a week ago.

When asked about his current deal with Chelsea that only has one year remaining, Ballack insisted there is no rush to sign a new contract.

Even though he will not return to London for another couple of weeks, he believes there is still plenty of time to consider his future.

“I have a contract until 2009 and there is an option to extend it, so there is no need to rush,” he told Bild newspaper.

“We will just wait and see what happens.”

Chelsea has been busy building up their side, and it seems like they will have a great shot at getting to the Championship again this season. Although he narrowly missed out on silverware last season, Ballack believes being at Chelsea gives him the best chance of glory.

“Even without new signings, Chelsea already had an exceptional squad which is capable of winning something always,” he said.

“That obviously means (we can win) the Champions League next season. That is the reason why I moved to Chelsea. I am playing in the best league in the world with one of the strongest teams.”
