Chelsea veteran midfielder Frank Lampard has reportedly revealed that he would leave the club after 13 years as he is out of a contract.

Lampard, who would be plying for England in the World Cup this month, is Chelsea's all-time leading scorer with 211 goals.

According to the BBC, Lampard has won 11 major trophies, including three Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2012, since he joined Chelsea from West Ham United in 2001.

Lampard said that Chelsea has become part of his life and the England International has yet to decide if he would retire.

However, the midfielder, who has made 649 appearances for Chelsea, has already had offers from 16 other clubs, but would consider none of them until after the tournament in Brazil concludes, the report added.
