Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has ruled out a return to Marseille despite constant speculation that he could again play for the club where he made his name.
The 32-year-old hitman spent a season at Marseille in 2003/2004 and scored 18 goals in 35 appearances for OM.
Drogba is widely quoted in France this morning following an interview with Orange Sport and the Ivorian striker says: "A return? Not likely... My name comes up often when it comes to boosting subscriptions. We must be realistic. I am not greedy financially, but I reached a certain level that I hope to keep."
He also backed Marseille to finish the season strongly after winning the French League Cup last night: "It could maybe start the latter part of their season and maybe they could go on and win the Championship."
In 2009/2010 Didier Drogba has scored 27 goals in 31 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea side but he missed the 7-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday due to injury.
