Inter chief Marco Branca is understood to have met the striker at a London restaurant on Monday.
The meeting jolted the Blues as they flew out to Bordeaux for tonight’s crucial Champions League clash.
Inter coach Jose Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes was also present in London with vice-president Branca.
The incident took place at trendy Italian restaurant Lucio — a favourite of Chelsea players and executives.
Reports in Italy claim former Chelsea boss Mourinho is keen to sign Drogba, 30, in the January transfer window.
Mourinho said: “I don’t know if my agent was there.”
Chelsea manager Phil Scolari has told Michael Mancienne he has no chance of breaking into Chelsea’s first-team this season.
And that means the defender, 21, who was in the last England squad, is likely to spend the season on loan with Championship leaders Wolves.
Scolari said: “I already have four players who play in this position.”
