Didier Drogba reportedly decides to quit Chelsea after a string of unsuccessful contract talks.

Didier Drogba has reportedly decided to abandon Chelsea after months of contract negotiations with the club.

It is believed that the Ivorian striker wants a two-year extension at Stamford Bridge but the two parties have failed to come to an agreement.

"Didier did want to stay," The Express quotes a source as saying. "But it has gone too far now. He has a number of offers."

It is thought that the 33-year-old may join former Blues teammate Nicolas Anelka at Shanghai Shenhua this month or at the end of the season.
