Reigning Premier League champions Chelsea have effectively ended all transfer speculation about Bosingwa’s imminent departure from Stamford Bridge by committing the defender to a new contract which sees him stay at the club until 2012.
The Portuguese right back, who moved to the Blues from Porto in 2008 for £16 million, has taken up the offer of extending his current deal by a year when it expires in this upcoming summer.
The 28 year old missed most of the 2009/2010 season with a knee injury, but returned to action this year and has played 15 games since that injury-ridden spell and played a full 90 minutes in the 2-0 victory over Blackburn last weekend.
Meanwhile, one of the goalscorers in that game, Branislav Ivanovic, has still not commited to signing a new deal with the West London side. The Serbian international has a four year deal on offer from Chelsea and said: ‘We are talking about my new contract but we will see in the next couple of weeks. I want to stay and I hope it will be sorted out soon.’
