Former
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has turned down the offer of a two-year deal
with Orlando City, according to Sky sources.
The Florida-based Major League Soccer side had been hoping to link him with
Brazilian star Kaka but the 37-year-old is considering other options after
ending his second spell at Stamford Bridge at the end of the last season.
Drogba won every domestic honour in a glittering career with Chelsea, which
was capped off with a man-of-the-match performance in the 2012 Champions
League final victory over Bayern Munich.
Weeks later he joined Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua, where he
scored eight goals in 11 matches, before moving on to Turkish side
Galatasary at the start of 2013.
On his return to Stamford Bridge, Drogba, who has been capped 104 times by
the Ivory Coast, featured in 28 games in a campaign which saw Chelsea win
the Barclays Premier League and Capital One Cup.
