But despite being 38-years-old, Drogba is keen to continue playing before calling it a day.

Former club Marseille are interested in a reunion and Drogba has refused to rule out a return.

But claims he is now considering a move to South America after Corinthians stepped in with a tempting deal.

Iconic forward Ronaldo enjoyed a fine spell there before calling it a day, scoring 35 times in 69 games.

And Corinthians feel Drogba can make a similar impact as well as bring in lucrative marketing deals.
