Chelsea reject Shevchenko going back to Milan?

August 22, 2008

Chelsea’s supremely expensive striker, Andriy Shevchenko, has long been linked with a move back to AC Milan. Andriy Shevchenko cost Chelsea, or more to the point Roman Abramovich, £30 million two years ago and has barely played for the blues. It was widely regarded that former manager Jose Mourinho didn’t want Sheva, and that Roman Abramovich bought him without even telling Jose.

Then when Mourinho left and Avram Grant took over, Shevchenko still found himself out in the cold. However in Milan Shevchenko is a legend, and longs to return. However any return to Milan looks to be in doubt now, after it did seem a formality for the 31-year-old star.

Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani stated:

Talks are deadlocked at the moment.

Milan were interested in taking the player on loan with the right to buy but Chelsea said they wanted a full sale, therefore negotiations are over.

In Milan, Shevchenko is a living legend. He’s their second best goalscorer ever having netted 127 in 208 games, more than one in two.

A one year loan deal was on the cards, and looked to be going through yesterday, however there have been one or two snags with the deal.

AC Milan’s director Silvano Ramaccioni stated:

We are close to the end of the deal and I hope these little things that have to be fulfilled are done soon.

Take a quick look:
Executive Desks at great prices.
If your looking for Office Desks then look no further.
