Drogba said: "All footballers dream of signing for AC Milan. I explained to Paolo Maldini that Milan is a club I would love to join."

In his explosive autobiography, serialised in The Sun, Drogba reveals he flew to Milan in a private jet.

Upon arrival, he bumped into Milan's vice-president Adriano Galliani, who allegedly asked him 'When would you like to play for Milan?'

Drogba replied: "Whenever you want, it's all up to you — get the money ready and go see Chelsea."

The next day, Galliani called Blues to make an offer.
