The striker is desperate to leave Chelsea after admitting the last six months have been the worst of his career.

He was spotted meeting with Inter's general manager, Marco Branca, in a Fulham restaurant on Monday night, as well as Jose Mourinho's agent, Jorge Mendes.

The Ivory Coast international paid the price for his actions as he was dropped to the bench against Bordeaux last night.

Inter president Massimo Moratti is adamant he knew nothing of the meeting and claims any interest in a deal was only from Drogba's side.

He said: "I believe the desire is more the player's than anything else. We don't need any strikers."

Inter already have four strikers in their squad in Adriano, Hernan Crespo, Julio Cruz and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Meanwhile, Drogba says the reason he wants to leave Chelsea is because he is fed up of being criticised all the time.

The 30-year-old believes he got all the blame for Chelsea's defeat in the Champions League Final in May, when he was sent off before the penalty shoot-out.

He said: "Too many bad things have been said about me. It's not my fault. I'm a football player and a public person; to be criticised okay - but sometimes we need to be fair."
