Chelsea rejected Marseille bid for Drogba
Published: 09 Sep 2010 - 10:30:14
Marseille have revealed they tried to bring Chelsea star Didier Drogba back to the club before the transfer deadline, even as relations between coach Didier Deschamps and sporting director Jose Anigo were stretched to breaking point.
Club president Jean-Claude Dassier has revealed Deschamps and Anigo were in disagreement over several potential signings - as well as the controversial exit of Hatem Ben Arfa to Newcastle and Mamadou Niang to Fenerbahce - and have only now patched up their working relationship.
But those tensions did not stop the club launching a bid to sign Drogba, the player they sold to Chelsea for £24million in 2004, and they could try again in the near future.
"We even tried to bring in Drogba, but this has not been possible," Dassier said. "We'll see, you should never give up in life. "
