Drogba has gone down in Chelsea folklore and certainly come up with the goods for the Blues when needed including a dramatic goal in the Champions League final that Chelsea eventually won on penalties.
The striker left for China in search of a new challenge, but Fergie said he would have certainly been interested if he had not wanted to move abroad.
Speaking in a press conference in China Fergie said: "The decision was his anyway - and he said if he was going to leave Chelsea he wouldn't play for another club in England.
"So that answered that question, but I could have been tempted."
