Drogba: Real link
Chelsea star Didier Drogba would consider a move to Real Madrid, according to the striker's agent.
Drogba has been strongly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, despite the Ivory Coast international claiming he does not want to leave the Blues.
Milan and Barcelona have been linked with Drogba, while a reunion with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at Internazionale has also been rumoured as a possibility.
Drogba's agent Pierre Frelot has reiterated that the former Marseille man is happy at Chelsea, but has hinted that he could be interested in a move to Real.
"Why Not," Frelot said in the Daily Mirror when asked about the possibility of Drogba moving to the Bernabeu.
"Didier is calm because he is at a great club like Chelsea, but Real Madrid are also a great club."
Chelsea are reportedly chasing Real Madrid's Brazilian international Robinho and the news could open up a possible swap deal for Drogba.
