Report: Manchester City not pursuing Didier Drogba

Manchester City reportedly have no interest in signing free agent Didier Drogba.

Recent speculation had claimed that the English champions had identified the 36-year-old as the ideal striker to fill the void left by Alvaro Negredo, who will spend the next few months on the sidelines with a foot injury.

However, should City manager Manuel Pellegrini move to replace Negredo, Drogba is not a player that he will pursue, according to The Guardian.

Drogba is expected to re-sign for Chelsea, where he previously spent eight years following his arrival at Stamford Bridge in 2004.
