Jose Mourinho: Zero Percent Chance of Signing Didier Drogba by Inter Milan

(This entry was originally published in this blog December 2008 and it is based on the information of that time.)

Since the departure of Jose Mourinho from Chelsea, striker Didier Drogba was linked with a move away from Chelsea. After Mourinho joined Inter Milan as the coach, Drogba was also linked with a move to Inter Milan. However, it seems all these things have been ended now. Recently, former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said that there was no chance Didier Drogba could make a move to Inter Milan in January transfer window at this moment. However, the Inter Milan manager termed Drogba as one of his men and said that the door of his club is always open for Drogba. Reports have it in the media that Drogba talked with Inter Milan officials last month for a possible move to Italy.

IHT reported:

“If one day Didier has a clear situation in his life with his club — which is a club I love — and he is on his way out and I am Inter coach, Gamba Osaka coach, Red Bulls coach or whatever coach, everyone knows he’s one of my men,” Mourinho told Sky Sports on Thursday.

“He’s one of my men. Whatever club I am at the door is always open for him, but he’s a Chelsea player, a very good player, and at the moment there’s zero percent chance of him coming to Inter in January.”

There are reports out in the media suggest that Chelsea might put Didier Drogba in their bid to bring Adriano in January transfer window. However, Jose Mourinho ruled out this report too. Drogba is definitely not at his best at this moment after coming back to action recovering his injury this season. On the other hand, Adriano is also struggling with injury for the last one year and has been at his best yet this season. Now, let us see if the reported swap linking Drogba and Adriano comes into existence in January transfer window.
