LONDON (AFP) \u2013 Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has turned down a one-year contract extension with the Premier League side and is looking for a big-money move to finish his career, his agent said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old\u2019s contract expires next summer and he looks set to walk away from Stamford Bridge for nothing, with his agent Thierno Seydi claiming he has been looking at options in the United States, Russia or Asia.<\/p>\n

\u201cDidier has had the offer of a one-year extension from Chelsea. That does not suit us,\u201d Seydi is quoted as saying by The Sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know what we want, where we want to go and what offers we have.<\/p>\n

\u201cAC Milan came in for Didier on loan with an option to buy but I said \u2018No\u2019 straight away. Their offer did not interest us.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Didier\u2019s age, he has nothing left to prove as a player. He will go where he is offered the most money.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be the United States, Russia, Qatar or somewhere else in Asia. Once you are well into your thirties you have to go to a club where you can be certain you\u2019ll be able to pay your bills.<\/p>\n

\u201cLA Galaxy are a possibility among many others. He has been linked with Anzhi Makhachkala in Russia, as they pay well. But neither Didier nor I have had an offer from them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drogba joined Chelsea in 2004 after previously playing for French clubs Marseille, Guingamp and Le Mans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
