Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly sick and tired of midfielder Frank Lampard, according to the Daily Star.
The Chelsea midfielder’s future remains in doubt with Lampard refusing to accept Chelsea’s offer of a new four year contract and the club seemingly reluctant to sell him.
According to the paper a source closer to the Russian billionaire has revealed Abramovich’s views on the subject by claiming: “Roman is fed up with Lampard.”
Lampard has been at the club since 2001 but has only one year remaining on his contract and is reportedly unhappy with the new deal he is being offered.
The Abramovich source, however, reveals that the Chelsea owner is surprised that Lampard hasn’t already signed the deal currently on offer at Chelsea. The source claims: “He felt it was an excellent deal for a player who is already 30. He cannot understand why he won’t accept it.”
The news is likely to increase speculation that Lampard will finally leave the club this summer. Inter Milan’s interest in the midfielder is well documented and the Italian side have already had one bid turned down by Chelsea.

Meanwhile the Daily Express claims to know the reason behind Lamps' refusal to sign the new deal: he simply wants to leave.
While up until this week he may have been willing to reach an accord with the club until events of late.
Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, when asked about Lampard, played the 'all is well' card - apparently to themidfielder's disgust.
A source close to the club said, ""Frank sees no future at the club now. He feels totally let down."
