Fresh reports in Italy suggest that Didier Drogba is Serie A-bound this summer.
Italian daily Corriere dello Sport claims that Drogba has told close friends that he will be heading to Internazionale.
The Ivorian's long-term Chelsea future has been up-in-the-air ever since Jose Mourinho departed Stamford Bridge earlier this season.
He has been quoted as saying he wanted to leave, only to insist he was happy in West London and he intended on seeing out his current deal - which runs to 2012.
But now again his future is being called into question with Internazionale seemingly heading the queue for his services, although the likes of Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid are all liable bidders should Chelsea decide to let Drogba leave.
One player who looks set to extend his stay at Chelsea, though, is Claude Makelele.
The French veteran has another year left on his contract - yet he is a firm favourite of Avram Grant and the Chelsea hierarchy - and a new deal is now set to be offered.
Indeed, leading French daily L'Equipe claims that Makelele will be handed a deal until 2010 which will even have an option until 2011 and would take him to his 38th birthday.
Makelele, who at 35 is still playing for France, is more than happy at Chelsea and has refused to talk with any other clubs and his loyalty looks set to be rewarded with a fresh deal.
Strong rumours going around the British and Italian press to that Mourinho has been it Italy for talks with Inter. (think it was Mourinho’s agent who said it to the BBC).
Can see why Drogba would want to leave Chelsea, and i hope he does. He would certainly be a difficult man to replace.
We all know Jose likes to play one man up top, so if he goes to Inter and Drogba follows him, what would happen to Old Big Nose Zlatan?
