Claude Makelele insists he wants to stay at Chelsea despite speculation over his future.

Claude Makelele insists he wants to stay at Chelsea despite speculation over his future.

The France veteran, who has one year left on his contract, has made it clear he is not looking to quit the club.

The 34-year-old found it difficult to hold down a regular first-team place at Stamford Bridge last season but has hit out at speculation, prompted by comments from his alleged agent, that he was ready to leave the club.

Makelele said: “I have one year to run on my contract with Chelsea FC and I am not looking to leave. The comments that have been made on my behalf have not been authorised by me and the individual making them is not my agent.

The club added in a statement: “We have not had any offers for Claude and we are not looking for any offers.”
