MARSEILLE will swoop for Chelsea striker Didier Drogba this summer — if they can afford his wages.
Drogba, 33, was a hit during his single season with the Ligue 1 club, netting 19 goals in 35 appearances before sealing a £24million move to Stamford Bridge in 2004.
The 33-year-old striker has a year left on current his deal with the Blues but new boss Andre Villas-Boas may yet decide he is surplus to requirements.
President Vincent Labrune is confident Marseille can afford to buy Drogba back but admits the player's salary demands may mean he is out of reach.
Labrune said: "The question is whether in terms of salary, I do not mean the transfer, Marseille have the means for four years to pay Drogba.
"I answer 'yes', but we cannot afford 11 Drogbas. It is possible, but only if we sell first."
