Speculation about Drogba has been rife since the arrival of Fernando Torres, which was believed by some to herald the beginning of the end of the Ivorian's six-and-a-half-year Stamford Bridge career.
The 33-year-old's contract expires next year and it is unclear whether he or Chelsea intend to extend it.
"It will be very interesting to see what happens in May," Drogba said.
"Then we can sit and speak about it and have a coffee."
Drogba also admitted that he had initially struggled to accept that he is no longer the automatic first choice forward at Stamford Bridge, but that he is coming to terms with it and is happy with the Blues.
"It wasn't easy the first week but that's normal," he said.
"Today, I know that we're doing this for the best of the team. The team is more competitive.
"Everybody talks a lot about my future but I'm enjoying it and I'm happy to be here.
"We have a lot of strikers but I can't complain, I'm not the only one.
"Salomon Kalou is not playing, (Florent) Malouda is not playing, sometimes Anelka, sometimes me, Nando.
"I think it's good for the team. A team like Chelsea must have a lot of players to achieve a lot in a year."
