In 2007, on a DVD released in France, Drogba claimed he had not wanted to leave Marseille for the Blues. "I was disgusted," he said. "I realised that signing for Chelsea was disgusting." He also announced his desire to leave the club in the wake of Jose Mourinho's departure. However, he has more recently spoken of his happiness in West London and, although the arrival of Fernando Torres has led to speculation Drogba will return to Marseille in the summer, he has made clear he has no intention of moving on. "I have everything I could dream of at Chelsea," he told French TV channel Orange Sport. "I am at a great club, with amazing team-mates, with a perfect living environment for my family. "Some years ago I could have said, 'I dream to play at AC Milan, Real, or Manchester United', but nowadays I don't feel such desire anymore. I am at one of the best clubs in the world. Those desires have been gone for a while." Drogba, who turns 33 this month, is under contract with Chelsea until June 2012.
