Frank Lampard has yet to speak with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
The 41-year-old knows Abramovich well from the 11 years he spent at the club as a player.
And Lampard insists he does not need to communicate with the Russian constantly due to the presence of club director Marina Granovskaia.
"I haven't spoken to him at the minute," Lampard said. "I have spoken a lot to Marina, we have talked in detail and in-depth because it is about how I want to work with the club and how they want me to work with them.
"I will be speaking with the owner in pre-season, I know he is a busy man and I know he is a very private man and I respect that completely, so it won't be one where I come out saying what has been said.
"I do think one of the benefits of me being here is that I don't need huge amounts of conversation; the conversations I had with Marina was exactly as I expected. We want to be competitive, yes we want to bring young players through, but that is something I should look to do anyway it isn't a major part of the conversation and we want to win."
