Ballack not in hurry to extend his contract with the Blues

July 8, 2008

German captain and midfielder Michael Ballack has his contract at Stanford Bridge ending next year. However, he has stated that he has no plans to get it extended as of now and does not want to hurry into a decision in regard to this decision.

This is the second season for the star player, when he has finished runners up in four major titles with his club and national side. The last in the list of being second best for the midfielder was the Euro Cup 2008 final, in which Germany lost to Spain 0-1 a week ago.

He has stayed away from the Chelsea Camp with a vacation in Germany, when the rest of the Blues are training for this season, clearly verified the non-interest in his part. On his part, he has said that there is still plenty of time to consider.

Ballack also said that Chelsea has an excellent squad and even without any new additions, they are looking strong to win the Champions League this season. He further added that his reason for choosing the London Club was for associating with a strong team in the world’s best league.

The three times German Player of the Year has revealed that being a player with 10 titles in England and Germany, he thinks that he has been successful this far in his life as a footballer.

It seems that the midfielder might continue his role strengthening the midfield of the Blues. However the scenario prevailing in the current transfer market with most English Club players, it is too early to make a prediction.
