Chelsea officials are trying heart and soul to keep midfielder Frank Lampard at the Stamford Bridge for the rest of his career. The English midfielder has been linked with a move to Italian club Inter Milan in what he could meet former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. However, Chelsea has recently offered a £150,000-a-week deal for Lampard for five years.
Inter Milan manager Mourinho did not keep anything private regarding his desire to sign Lampard. However, Inter’s £7.95 million bid has already been rejected by Chelsea. According to sources, Chelsea is trying to persuade Frank Lampard to sign on a new deal under which he could spend the rest of his career at Chelsea. Moreover, if Lampard puts pen to paper on the proposed £150,000-a-week deal, he will be the highest paid European footballer. Frank Lampard joined Chelsea on a £11 million transfer fee from West Ham United in 2001.
In his seven year spell at Chelsea, Lampard appeared in 247 domestic matches for Chelsea so far. He has a year left on his current contract with Chelsea. Now, let us see if Frank Lampard finds the new Chelsea offer attractive enough to remain at Stamford Bridge for a longer term.
