The Ivory Coast striker, handed a ban by UEFA following his outburst after the Champions League semi-final defeat to Barcelona, has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and reunion with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

However, Ancelotti insisted: "Now I have Drogba in my team and he will be staying."

He told Italian Radio Deejay: "I will not sell him to Mourinho."

Elsewhere, striker Andriy Shevchenko is reported to be considering an offer to join his old Ukrainian club Dynamo Kiev.
