Lampard Happy At Chelsea But Flattered By Barcelona Interest
Despite having the biggest international tournament of his career approaching for England, Frank Lampard has been speaking to the Spanish press about his situation at Chelsea and the rumoured interest in him from European champions Barcelona.
Lampard has told Spanish daily paper Marca that while he is happy at Chelsea, playing for Barcelona would be “a dream”.
“It would be a dream to go to Barcelona but I am happy at Chelsea. They have offered to renew my contract which is something to be proud about,” he told Marca.
“Chelsea are reinforcing and are going to be stronger still and we will be capable of winning things again.”
Frank Lampard’s Spanish fiancee, model Elen Rives, originally comes from Barcelona so there has been heightened speculation in recent weeks as to whether he would follow England compatriot David Beckham to the sun and sangria lifestyle in Spain.
