The hits keep coming for Chelsea. After received a two-year transfer ban on Thursday, their captain, Michael Ballack, says he may call it quits after the World Cup:
Ballack Says He May Retire After 2010 World Cup
Ballack’s £120,000-a-week contract expires next summer and the Blues have failed to open talks with the midfielder on a new deal.
But Chelsea will not want to lose the midfieder now after being banned by FIFA for signing any new players in the next two transfer windows.
However Ballack, who will be 34 by the time the ban is lifted, insists he will not make a decision on his future until after South Africa in 2010.
“I will decide after the 2010 World Cup if I will continue playing or if I will stop. I will continue as long as I enjoy it and still have ambitions in the sport.”
