Lampard ready to quit Blues, says agent

Frank Lampard’s agent insists the England midfielder could still leave Chelsea if he is not awarded an improved contract.

The 26-year-old has been by far the Blues’ most consistent player this year, but feels he is being undervalued when compared with some of the club’s new recruits.

Lampard’s agent Steve Kutner told The People: “The way things stand, Frank doesn’t feel that he will be able to stay.

“All he wants is parity with the club’s best-paid players but Chelsea aren’t prepared to give him that. After the kind of season he has had, you wouldn’t think there would be a problem.

“Now they risk losing one of their best players because everyone knows that Juve and Inter want him – and they clearly want him more than Chelsea.

“There are no more talks planned because all the talking has been done. That’s it. It’s over.”
