The Blues hit-man has been looking to leave the club since the
departure of former coach and great mentor Jose Mourinho early on
in the season.
Having been linked with all of European football's major
heavyweights, many suspected the Cote d'Ivoire star's new club
would be the same as Jose's, but with the Portuguese now bound for
Internazionale, the favourites to sign Drogba are their city rivals
Milan.
Milan have not been afraid of emphasising their need for a striker
or two this summer, with Amauri - now officially of Juventus -
being linked, along with the less likely Luca Toni, former club
legend Andriy Shevchenko (who is now also of Chelsea, much against
his own will it would seem), as well as Samuel Eto'o, Emmanuel
Adebayor, Mario Gomez, Karim Benzema and of course Drogba, among
others.
It seems as if the former Marseille man is their number one target,
with Galliani revealing today that negotiations have now
begun.
"[Milan coach] Carlo Ancelotti wants Drogba. He does," revealed
Galliani. "I do not see anything wrong in a transfer, talks have
already begun."
