Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona has again picked up the option to transfer Chelsea forward and Ivory Coast international Didier Drogba (30). Barcelona would already be negotiating with Drogba and has offered the striker a two-year contract with an option for a third year. The player wants a contract for three fixed years.
Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola likes the play Drogba offers: good physical presence, the ability to play with his back to the goal, a team player who can also score himself. The Barcelona board would see Drogba as a more high profiled player than Adebayor. Because Drogba reached the top quite late, the club thinks that the player has some more good years left.
Barcelona would be preparing to make Chelsea an offer that includes Barcelona forward and Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o (27), whose transfer to Chelsea was already discussed between the clubs a few weeks ago.
British tabloid The Sun claims that the idea of a swap deal was immediately rejected by Chelsea. Drogba, who has three more years left on his Chelsea contract, now wants to hold talks with the English Premier League club to sort out his future.
