Didier Drogba has hinted that he may not end his career with reigning Premier League champions Chelsea.
The Ivorian striker has been at Stamford Bridge since 2004 when he moved from Marseille.
Drogba, who has two-years left on his current deal, has played over 250 games for The Blues and previously stated he would end his career with the West London giants.
But the 32-year-old admits that things could change, and he told Canal Plus: "When I signed a new contract at Chelsea, I always said I wanted to finish my career here.
"But I am well placed to say that anything can happen.
"When I was at Marseille I said I would finish my career there but, one week later, everything changed."
Chelsea play Marseille on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League, and Drogba is upset at missing the chance to line-up against his former club as he is suspended.
But he is desperate to make the second leg in France, adding; "I hope I don't miss the return match as the Velodrome has an exceptional atmosphere.
"I did not think I would miss this game, but that is a lesson in life.
"I have already warned my team-mates about the Stade Velodrone, I said forget about Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, St James' Park - the Velodrome is unique."
