Drogba loves Barcelona very much and wants to play for the club. He has said this to me and I know he wants to come to Barca. We have spoken about Barcelona, and it all looks very good. Of course, it will be difficult, because Madrid and Milan are also after him. In my opinion, it would be very good if he were to join us, because we have lots of great players and he would be another one of them. He is a player with quality and one that can help the team.
