Chelsea To Offer Frank A Bumper Deal

This morning, reports in Daily Telegraph claimed that Chelsea had offered the England international a 5 year contract worth £150,000-a-week which if he accepts it would make him Britain's highest-paid player..

Chelsea are hoping their lucrative offer will kill off the chances of former Blues manager Jose Mourinho luring Lampard to Inter Milan either this summer or next.

“sources at the club” are said to be confident that Lampard will sign the offered contract, that will keep him at Chelsea for the rest of his career.

And “a source at Stamford Bridge” has told the Daily Express: "The club are desperate to keep hold of Frank. They had talks with him just before the China tour which they hope will finally convince him to stay long term.



"I know Frank is very tempted by the offer as it means he could potentially see the rest of his career out at Chelsea, and there is every chance he could sign.

"However, a lot of bad feeling was created when details of the contract negotiations were being publicly discussed by the club and there are still some issues to iron out."
