Olympique Marseille's Jose Anigo rules out move for Chelsea's Didier Drogba
The club's sporting director has stated that Drogba isn't interested in a return to France yet and has extinguished any hope of a potential transfer

Olympique de Marseille sporting director Jose Anigo has made it clear that Chelsea attacker Didier Drogba will not join the Ligue 1 giants in the summer transfer window.
The Cote d'Ivoire international is continually linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and recent reports from France suggested that he could be on his way back to Marseille, where he spent the 2003-04 season, ahead of the new campaign.
"We have to be realistic here instead of making people dream. I spoke with him some 15 days ago and he was pretty clear that he doesn't want to return to France just yet," Anigo was quoted as saying by RMC.
Marseille president Vincent Labrune recently declared that the club have the financial resources to meet Drogba's demands, but the 33-year-old appears to have set his sights on a move elsewhere.
Drogba has also been linked with clubs such as Galatasaray and AC Milan in the past couple of months, and his current contract at the London outfit expires in the summer of 2012.
