London, September 05: German playmaker Michael Ballack has landed another blow on crisis-hit Chelsea by revealing that he might quit at the end of the season.
Just hours after the Blues were banned from signing any new players until January 2011, Ballack has threatened to leave the club even shorter on bodies.
The German international midfielder, who will be 33 this month, is in the final year of his 130,000 pound-a-week Chelsea contract.
The club has not even opened talks over a new deal.
Ballack said on Friday: “I will decide after the 2010 World Cup if I will continue playing or if I will stop.”
“I will only continue as long as I still enjoy myself and have ambitions in the sport,” The Sun quoted him, as saying.
