Didier Drogba has announced that he will leave Chelsea when his contract expires next month. Following a disappointing start to the season, the trust shown in the 34-year-old by Roberto Di Matteo has seen him become key in the revival of the team�s season, scoring in both the club's FA Cup and Champions League final victories. The 34-year-old has been reportedly looking for a two-year deal, whereas the club are only willing to offer a 12-month extension, and it appears Drogba has decided on his future. "We [Drogba and his Chelsea team-mates] will not be together next season," he was quoted saying in France Football magazine. "As I have decided to leave, I wanted to tell them to their faces. They made me break down. I found it hard to admit that it was finished with me and the club. Fellow striker Fernando Torres recently complained of having to start Saturday�s victory over Bayern Munich on the bench with the Ivorian starting, and Drogba believes the pair�s roles will soon swap. "I don't envisage sitting on the bench watching others play at a time when the club is looking at putting together a new team," he said. "So there we go, I am readying myself for a great leap into the unknown. It will be another adventure." Earlier this month, reports surfaced linking Drogba with a move to Shanghai Shenua on an estimated 250,000 pounds-per-week. The Ivorian would join former teammate Nicolas Anelka in China should he make the move to the far east.
