The Ivory Coast striker, 34, who scored the
winning penalty
in the Champions League final victory over Bayern
, is set to be a free agent when his Blues contract expires next
month.
"Winning the [Champions League] final was key, that was
the turning point," Drogba told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We made history together but I think now is the best
time to move on."
In a statement on
the club's website,
Drogba said: "I wanted to put an end the speculation and confirm
that I am leaving Chelsea."
"It has been a very difficult decision for me to make and I am very
proud of what we have achieved, but the time is right for a new
challenge for me."
Didier Drogba says Fernando Torres is "the future" of Chelsea, as
the Ivory Coast striker
confirmed he
will leave the club
on a free transfer this summer.
Drogba describes how hard it is for him to move on
after eight years at Stamford Bridge, saying Chelsea is "in his heart"
and his blood is "blue".
