It’s official! Didier Drogba has found his next destination, and it’s Montreal Impact in Major League Soccer (MLS). The Ivorian striker, who has enjoyed a legendary career with Chelsea and the Ivory Coast national team, will now continue his journey with the Canadian club.
The Montreal Impact confirmed the transfer, which involves Drogba coming over from Chicago Fire in exchange for an allocation amount, though the specific details of the deal have not been disclosed, as per MLS policy. Drogba, who is set to join Montreal once his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and Canadian work permit are cleared, will sign an 18-month contract.
While there were rumors linking Drogba to clubs in India and Chicago, it’s in Montreal where the 37-year-old will lace up his boots next. His experience, leadership, and presence will no doubt be key for Montreal as they aim for success in MLS. Drogba’s move is expected to bring a significant boost both on the pitch and in terms of marketing for the club.
