04/23/2004. Frank Lampard's Chelsea future is in doubt after contract talks were revealed to have broken down.
The England mifielder, who has been in outstanding form this season, has two years left to run on his current contract at Stamford Bridge.
However, he had been negotiating an improved deal to see him placed on a similar amount to the clubs biggest earners.
Lampard's agent Steve Kutner said: "Talks between Chelsea and ourselves have stopped because the club said that they could not agree to the terms which we were looking for."
The former West Ham star has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and this development is likely to see them step up their interest.
