Chelsea boss Scolari set to offer Drogba £130,000 a week to stay at The Bridge

He has told Drogba’s representatives the club will meet the Ivory Coast striker's demands to get him to sign a four-year contract, bringing the 30-year-old on wage parity with Stamford Bridge's top earner - £130,000-a-week skipper John Terry.

The day he officially took over as Chelsea manager Scolari said of Drogba: 'I want him to stay 100 per cent. No, 200 per cent' - and now he is ready to offer the cash to back up his words according to reports in The Sun.

Drogba has been linked with a summer move to Milan or Inter with Barcelona also keen on him.

Last season Drogba launched a verbal attack on club owner Roman Abramovich over the way he sacked Jose Mourinho - now at Inter - and said he wanted to leave.

He also did himself no favours by getting sent off in the Champions League Final defeat to Manchester United.

However, Chelsea’s offer might prove difficult to turn down as no club in Europe could match the terms.

Drogba’s fellow striker Claudio Pizarro, meanwhile, is set to lead Scolari’s clear-out by signing for Paris Saint-Germain. The Peruvian is one of seven players the new Blues chief wants to axe.

Pizarro, 29, has flopped at the Bridge since joining on a free transfer from Bayern Munich last summer.

He made only four Premier League starts and did not feature at all following Chelsea’s FA Cup humiliation by Barnsley in March.

Pizarro had been expected to move back to Germany, with Werder Bremen and Hamburg keen.

But PSG hope to tie up a £3million deal before Chelsea leave for their tour of Russia and China on Sunday.

The only stumbling block could be his £50,000-a-week wages and he will have to take a pay cut to move to France.
