Chelsea have been linked with a £25million summer move for Brazil international Kaka, while reports earlier this month suggested the Blues could offer Drogba as part of a part-exchange deal. The Blues spent over £70m last month on striker Fernando Torres and defender David Luiz but have already been linked with a number of top players ahead of the transfer window re-opening at the end of the season and Kaka is believed to be near the top of their list of targets. Drogba's future at Stamford Bridge has been the subject of much speculation following the arrival of Torres, with the Ivory Coast international wanted by several clubs - including Real Madrid - as the Blues look to lower the average age of their squad. Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is a huge admirer of the Kaka, having worked with him at AC Milan, prior to his £56m move to Real in June 2009, but of a potential swop deal involving Drogba, the Italian told La Repubblica: "Will I ask (owner, Roman) Abramovich for Kaka, Pato or Pirlo? We have already taken Ramires, Torres and David Luiz. "The exchange of Kaka for Drogba is fantasy football." Despite last month's big money arrivals at the club, Ancelotti added: "I don't think that Chelsea have spent a lot in the last year.
"We added five players from the youth system instead of five with expensive salaries."
Drogba has also been linked with former club Marseille and Turkish side Galatasaray but he looks set to stay at Chelsea as he has dismissed reports of leaving Stamford Bridge, prior to the game. It has been said that Drogba can play at the highest level for about three more years if he keeps being fit and scoring the goals he is known for. I for instance doubt that he'll leave soon, amybe he 'll stay a year or two more. But with Torres not finding his form, who knows?
