William Gallas's agent Issa Traore has been told that the Chelsea defender will be offered a new contract by the Premiership champions.Gallas has been targeted by some of Europe's top clubs with the likes of Arsenal, Milan and Juventus strongly linked with the Frenchman.
Traore accepts that the offer of a permanent place at centre back, his favoured position, with a club in the UEFA Champions League may tempt the 28-year-old to consider a move away from Stamford Bridge.
"For the moment, I don't know what will happen at the end of the season," Traore told skysports.com.
"A decision will be taken soon, as there is only one year left on William's contract.
"My associate, Etienne Mendy, and myself are waiting for an appointment with Chelsea.
"They are going to propose a new contract to Gallas and we will study their offer.
"A player of such a level interests a lot of clubs, top clubs in Europe," he stated. "Some clubs have asked Chelsea for him but not us, for the moment.
"We read the press to know who could be interested in William."
When asked if Gallas, who often plays full back for Jose Mourinho's league leaders, would relish a central role elsewhere, Traore was conclusive.
"Of course, yes," he answered.
"That would make him leave because he has always wanted to play as a central defender.
"But he would only join a top-class club that is ambitious and plays in the Champions League."
Mourinho prefers to call upon John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho at the heart of his defence with Robert Huth also an option for the ex-Porto coach.
