Chelsea's world class goalkeeper is going nowhere. He has every intention of seeing out his contract. This means he will remain at Stamford Bridge until 2008.

“About what happened this morning in the newspapers,” he began. “I have never ever thought to leave Chelsea. I have a contract here until 2008 so if possible I would like to stay here until 2008.

 

“The club can decide my future as well so it is not just depending on me. I’m really happy here. I love the club and I love the fans so absolutely I want to stay here and try to get some trophies.

 

“I really love my team-mates as well,” he added. “Especially the ones that I’ve been with for three, four or five years. We really want to try to stick together and try to get some trophies. I don’t want to leave.”

 

Carlo then went on to explain why reports suggesting family reasons are behind a wish to return to Italy are rather wide of the mark.

 

“If you read the newspapers, they said that I’ve got kids! And as far as I know I haven’t!

 

“I have got a dog, yes, and he’s really happy to stay here in London. Unfortunately I don’t have a wife anymore. We broke up three or four months ago.”

 

In other Chelsea news Adrian Mutu has recently admitted to being a cigarette smoker. He could have been the world's best player, maybe, if it wasn't for that factor.
