The William Gallas saga continues. Chelsea have today released a press statement regarding the 'on/off, I am leaving, I am staying' antics of my player of the year at least, French International and Mr Left Back, Right Back and Centre-Half, William Gallas.

Gallas has reportedly said that he wants to leave Chelsea to experience 'new' football challenges and he has reportedly announced that Serie A's AC Milan want to buy him for next season.

Chelsea have said the Gallas is not going anywhere, not at least until he contract expires next season when he will become a 'free agent.' Gallas has reportedly said that he will pay £5m of his money to buy his contract out.

The Chelsea statement reads as follows:

"William Gallas has made a great contribution to Chelsea since he has been here and he has been offered a very good new contract in recognition of that. That contract is still on offer and we would like him to be at Chelsea for the next four years.

"If it is not accepted, then William is still under contract for one more year and we will not be encouraging offers for players that we want to keep. Under Premier League rules he would be able to leave at the end of next season (2006/7) on a free transfer."

Sunday will be an interesting day to see if Willie G wants to stay or not. If he is not on the 'Parade' bus then we can assume that he doesn't want to stay. The same applies to Eider who has now been linked to Man Utd.
