REVEALED: Demba Ba is in talks to leave Chelsea this summer
DEMBA BA is already in negotiations to quit Chelsea at the end of the season.
Ba is behind Samuel Eto'o and Fernando Torres in Jose Mourinho's striker pecking-order and want a move away for first-team football.
And with Chelsea seemingly prepared to allow the Senegal international to leave, Ba has admitted he is looking into his next club.
"My agent has spoken to the club [Chelsea] about a departure and he has started speaking with other clubs about a contract for next season," Ba said.
"I hope we can find the best option possible. I'd like to stay in England. I like other leagues, too. I'd like to try the Italian league.

"Nothing's been confirmed but there are a few teams in Italy who play very good football."
Ba wants to win the Premier League or Champions League before he departs Stamford Bridge though.
"That would be the best way to go out the door," he added.
"If I leave with at least the title or the Champions League, that would be exceptional."
