Didier Drogba has openly declared he wants to quit Chelsea.
Ivory Coast striker Drogba claims he has been driven out of the Premiership by fans labelling him a cheat.
Drogba, 28, said: "It's not a joke. I want to move on and avoid all the pressure and scandals here.
"Those things hurt my feelings. I want a place I can play freely without any drawbacks.
"You should know what a player goes through with so much pressure."
Drogba, who cost £24million from Marseille two years ago, is set to be replaced by £22m Corinthians star Carlos Tevez.
Lyon are also keen to sign the player, who could even end up going to AC Milan as part of a deal to bring Andriy Shevchenko to Stamford Bridge.
Drogba would prefer the Italian option, declaring: "I admire AC Milan. But anywhere I go, the Champions League will be there waiting for me."
