Ballack set for contract talks with Chelsea

Michael Ballack is set for final transfer talks with Chelsea as his career at the club seems to bet at its end.

The 33-year old, who will be sidelined for the World Cup after injuring his ankle in the FA Cup final against Portsmouth, has only been offered a one-year deal by the Blues but is keen for more.

The German midfielder wants at least a two-year deal but it is believed he may settle for a one-year contract with the option of a further 12 months based on performance.
