The agent of Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has warned that his client may leave the club, following the acrimonious exit of former manager Joe Mourinho.

The 29-year-old Ivory Coast ace has been a major success at Stamford Bridge, scoring 67 goals in 149 appearances for the Blues, but he is thought to have been unsettled by the departure of Mourinho.

Drogba's agent, Etienne Mendy, told The Daily Mirror: "Drogba is a player who is very desirable and I have received calls from some European clubs about the situation.

"The key question now is for Didi to work for Chelsea after the blow, but he and the team must score many goals to recuperate their confidence."

Reports in the same newspaper suggest that Chelsea could consider selling Frank Lampard next summer, with talks over a new contract for the England midfield ace having stalled.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have been linked with both Drogba and Lampard, with Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan also reportedly showing an interest.

On player linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge is AC Milan's Brazilian superstar Kaka, with the Blues reported to be prepared to pay up to £100million to secure the services of the attacking midfielder.
