Lampard hints at Chelsea exit
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard could be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer as he admits that things 'don't last for ever'.
The 34-year-old Chelsea stalwart is in the final year of his contract with the Blues but is not in negotiations over extending his deal next summer.
Lampard is currently with the Champions League winners in Japan for the FIFA World Club Cup and has been linked with moves to Los Angeles Galaxy, Chinese outfit Guizhou Rehne and a plethora of other sides.
The England international has even been linked with London rivals Arsenal, although a move to the USA or China is more likely.
Speaking after Chelsea got through to the Club World Cup final, Lampard said: "There have been no talks about anything about an extension. The ball is in Chelsea's court. I'm a Chelsea player, as simple as that. I've had a great, great time here.
"Maybe things don't last forever. Although I want it to last forever, you have to be big enough to know what it is."
The news of Lampard’s impending departure will not be welcomed by the Chelsea faithful. The player has been instrumental during the Roman Abramovich, winning Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup medals for the Stamford Bridge-based club.
It is thought he could even sign a pre-contract agreement with another side in January.
