Marseille has no project -


Didier Drogba has ruled out a return to Marseille because he does not
expect the Ligue 1 side to be competing for trophies next season.
The Ivory Coast striker was released by Chelsea at the end of his contract
after helping them claim a fourth Premier League title and win the League
Cup.
Reports had suggested the 37-year-old could return to the Stade
Velodrome to finish his career, but Drogba said he will not be joining
Marcelo Bielsa's side.
"It's not a question of money. I like to have a project. And Marseille,
which I know well, does not have a project," Drogba is quoted as telling
Ivorian media by ESPN.
"They have sold their best players, whom they let go till the end of their
contracts. I'm talking about Andre Ayew, Andre-Pierre Gignac ... and
they'll lose more.
"I don't want to go to Marseille to just play. If I go somewhere, it's to win,
and I want to win. The question has been coming up for 10 years.
"There have been times when I could have returned, but the timing wasn't
right. And each time my name comes up when it's time to renew season
tickets. I don't want people to use me for financial purposes."
Drogba left Marseille for his first spell at Chelsea in July 2004.
