Inter not giving up on Drogba
The transfer window is closed but the speculations regarding the possible destination of some players still continue.

Drogba was one of the most hunted players before he got injured last summer. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter and Milan were all after him.
Inter were almost inactive on the transfer market this winter and everybody expect Mourinho to act in the summer. The Special One has never hidden his admiration and desire to bring Drogba to San Siro.
Inter are on top of Serie A, still in Champions League and Coppa Italia but the poor performances from last matches have made Mourinho angry.
Mourinho failed to find the ideal partner for Ibrahimovic into the Nerazzurri’s attack because of the inconstant evolutions of Adriano, Cruz or Balotelli. This could force Mourinho to start the negotiations with Chelsea.
On the other side Drogba is having a disappointing season managing to score only three goals from 20 appearances. The 30-year-old Ivorian international has fallen out with Scolari, who prefers Anelka up front.
By coming to Inter, Drogba is trying to regain to the form he played under Mourinho, the man who brought him at Chelsea.
Drogba has lost also Abramovic support after he declared that he wants a new challenge last summer.
Inter would agree an exchange Drogba Quaresma, considering that the Portuguese has already joined Chelsea on loan.
Chelsea loaned Quaresma
Chelsea have loaned Quaresma until the end of the season with the option to make the move permanent.

The former Porto and Barcelona player was signed last summer by Inter but failed to impress Jose Mourinho. Regarded by many as good as Ronaldo, Quaresma failed to adapt to Italian football and at the end of 2008 he was awarded with the status of the weakest player in Serie A “the Golden Bin”.
Probably the Portuguese winger will have better performances at Chelsea where he will rejoin his former Portugal coach with which he had some notable performances.
It seems that the financial crisis is felt also at Chelsea. Chelsea and Roman Abramovic delighted the fans with big name signings like Drogba, Essien, Ballack in the last couple of seasons but now after failing to sign Robinho all they can do is to hope that Quaresma will shine at Stamford Bridge.
Quaresma could take advantage of the poor form showed by Malouda this season. The only concern for him could be the fans patience who started to worry regarding this season title chances.
