Jose Mourinho and Didier Drogba will both be at AC Milan next
season, according to French newspaper LEquipe.
Portuguese boss Mourinho has been out of work since leaving Chelsea
by mutual consent a few months ago, but it is reported that he has
already signed a pre-contract agreement to take over from Carlo
Ancelotti in June.
Ancelotti will in turn replace Frank Rijkaard as Barcelonas Coach
for next season, although this could be altered if the Italian
national team flop at Euro 2008, whereby Carletto would substitute
Roberto Donadoni.
Mourinhos first signing at Milan will be Ivorian hitman Didier
Drogba. The 29-year-old is arguably the Blues most important
player, however he wants to leave the club following Mourinhos
exit.
The Rossoneri would bid £25m for Drogba, and although Chelsea are
likely to put up a fight, it is unlikely they will be able to stop
him leaving.
Another high-profile player, who is virtually certain to be playing
at Milan next season, is Barcelonas Gianluca Zambrotta, whose wife
is homesick and wants to return to Italy.
The Azzurri wing-back will be available for just £5m, although the
move could go through as early as January.
