According to the News of the World, the under-fire Grant faces "a battle with Barcelona and Real Madrid over his star players." It claims that Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien and Ricardo Carvalho are all unhappy with the current regime at Stamford Bridge in the wake of last week's Carling League Cup defeat by Tottenham.
The News of the World claims a phalanx of Chelsea stars will quit the club in the summer if manager Avram Grant remains in charge at Stamford Bridge. And the Sunday Mirror claims in an 'exclusive' that he will be moved 'upstairs' to a director of football role, with a new man brought in to manage the team.
Speculation that Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard could be at Chelsea next season has been given fresh impetus by a report in the English media in which one of those "sources close to" the Dutchman revealed that he intends to resign from has Camp Nou post this summer, but would change his mind about taking a break from the game if he was offered the Chelsea post.
