William Gallas hopes to hold talks with Chelsea next week

The agent of William Gallas hopes to hold talks with Chelsea next week over the French defender's future.

The 28-year-old, who told the Blues he wanted to leave in May, failed to turn up for a pre-season American tour and was criticised by boss Jose Mourinho.

"I think we will meet the directors of Chelsea next week," Pierre Frelot told BBC Sport.

"I think but don't know."



Asked about whether Gallas wanted to stay at Chelsea, he answered:

"I don't want to comment on this question."
