Chelsea legend in talks with MLS move

 

Didier Drogba could be set to join former Chelsea teammate Frank Lampard Stateside after confirming he is in talks to sign with an MLS franchise.

 

The 37-year-old is currently a free agent after being released from Chelsea at the end of last season, with Chicago Fire reportedly the club locked in talks with the Ivorian striker.

 

The former Galatasaray striker has also been linked with Serie A giants Inter, however Drogba insists those links are simply rumours at this stage.

 

"I’m not aware of that situation [with Inter]," Drogba told FCInter1908.

 

"Inter are a great club, and certainly if they were to contact me I'd gladly listen to their offer, but I'm currently in talks with an MLS club.

 

"Inter could be an option if they really are interested in me."
