Didier Drogba: Isn't planning to leave yet

DROGBA NOT EYEING CHELSEA EXIT YET

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has seemingly ruled out making the lucrative move to Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season when his contract expires at Stamford Bridge.
The Chinese club were on Thursday confident of completing the signing of the Ivory Coast international during the Africa Cup of Nations.
But Drogba, who has reportedly been offered a three-year deal at Shenhua worth £267,000 per week, wants to stay at Chelsea at least until the summer.
The striker has admitted he has over recent months not been enjoying his football as much as in the past and he has just three months left no his current contract with Chelsea.
But the 33-year-old is still prepared to take his time when considering his future, as he told France Football magazine: "I would like to find again more fun, shivers, fervour, pressure and passion on the pitch.
"That makes fun in our job and I have missed a little for the last months.
"Does it mean departure from Chelsea? Not before next June."
Drogba is understood to want a new two-year contract at Stamford Bridge, but has only been offered a 12-month extension.

Neymar: Staying in Brazil

NEYMAR PLANS TO STAY AT SANTOS

Neymar has reaffirmed his plans to stay at Santos until 2014 after rejecting the chance to move to Europe amid interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The Brazilian star is wanted by both the Spanish giants, but he has made it clear he wants to stay put after accepting the South American Player of the Year award.
Neymar is contracted to the Brazilian club until 2014 and he has no intention of leaving the club early.
"For now at least I have said no thanks to the interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona," said Neymar.
"I have a contract until 2014 with Santos and I intend to stay and complete it. After that I do not know.
"I dream about playing in Europe, but when that will be I don't know either."
Along with ignoring speculation over his future, Neymar is looking ahead to the World Cup finals that will be in his homeland in two years' time.
"What I want to do is to play and to try and win the World Cup in Brazil in 2014," he continued.
"I am preparing for that already and I hope that we will have a great side for it and that with my team-mates' help we can go for the trophy."
