Michael Ballack is adamant that reports claiming that he wants to leave Chelsea couldn't be further off the mark.
Speculation tipping the 32-year-old for a sentimental return to Bayern Munich have been gathering steam, especially considering that Ballack could be a free agent in the summer depending on whether a one-year extension on his current contract is exercised.
“I expect to be back next season and maybe even a few more years after that as well," Ballack was quoted as saying in The Sun.
"I’ve always said I can imagine finishing my career at Chelsea and, right now, I think I will remain here.”
Ballack was one of the standout performers when Chelsea managed to topple Juventus in Turin on Tuesday, and the hope amongst Blues fans is that he will again hit full stride when every game really matters, as was the case last season.
