Gallas left Stamford Bridge as part of the deal which saw Ashley Cole go in the opposite direction.

But when asked on Sky Sports’ Soccer AM, if the claim was true, Gallas cleared up what happened.
He said: “That was not true.

“I told the club, I like to play with my heart, when I play I give 100 per cent.

“Because we were negotiating my contract, they didn’t want to give me what I want, so I said to them I want to leave.

“It was a very difficult decision to leave Chelsea, they gave me everything.”
