Lampard future unclear

12 April 2012

The future of Chelsea's England midfielder Frank Lampard has come under the spotlight yet again after his agent refused to say whether the player would be at Stamford Bridge next season.

Lampard has two years remaining on his contract with the English champions but there has been renewed speculation that he will leave the club at the end of the season and join Barcelona.

Lampard's agent Steve Kutner told Radio Barcelona's La Graderia show: "Frank Lampard is a Chelsea player until the end of the season. From then, we have not decided anything yet. Who knows what can happen?"

He added: "Right now he is concentrating on one thing and that is playing for Chelsea. It's still too early to say where he will go if he leaves the club."

Lampard, 28, has a Spanish partner and that has fuelled speculation that Barcelona would be his destination should he opt to leave London.

Lampard's situation has been mirrored by the speculation surrounding Jose Mourinho's own future. That is still unclear despite claims by the Portuguese coach that he wishes to see out the remainder of his contract at Stamford Bridge.

But rumours continue to persist that Mourinho will leave at the end of the season instead of staying until 2010. Should Mourinho opt to move on, then that may well signal an exodus of players from Chelsea - including Lampard.
