Didier Drogba denies Barcelona rumours

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has denied a claim by his own agent that he could move to Barcelona.

The Ivorian, whose current deal at Stamford Bridge ends this summer, has yet to sign a new deal with the Blues.

Drogba's representative Francois Gillardo revealed on Wednesday that his client could soon open talks with the Spanish giants.

However, the former Marseille forward has said that this is not true.

"There are a lot of rumours about me and Barca - it's not true. The excitement of the Champions League is more important than this," he told reporters.

Drogba is expected to start for Chelsea in Saturday's Champions League final against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
