He was set to leave on a free transfer but Lampard, who is in the form of his life with 12 goals to his name this season, is set to be offered a 12-month extension to his contract and extend his 12-year spell at Stamford Bridge in the process following a u-turn on his future by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
Although not drawn on Lampard’s future, manager Rafael Benitez told Chelsea TV: “He’s scoring goals for us already and I think he’s doing well.”
Lampard was linked with a move to the MLS to replace David Beckham at Los Angeles Galaxy as well as a switch to Italy, Spain or France, but the reports suggest that Chelsea have had a change of heart and have offered Lampard new terms.
Team-mate Ashley Cole has already signed a one-year extension and will continue his career at Chelsea until at least the end of next season.
