Milan leaving space in squad for Shevchenko
-
MILAN, May 9 (Reuters) - AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani said on Wednesday a space will be kept open in the squad for Andriy Shevchenko if he decides to return to the Champions League finalists.
The Ukraine striker has struggled in his first season in England with Chelsea and has been constantly linked with a move back to the San Siro, where he spent seven successful years.
'Sheva remains in our hearts, he and his wife have been invited to Athens to follow the Champions League final,' Galliani told a news conference.
'As for the future, let's see, he is a Chelsea player. Anyway, he knows, we will keep a place open for a few months seeing as after his marriage Kaka has freed up a non-European Union place.'
Milan face Liverpool in the Champions League final in the Greek capital on May 23 after the English side beat Shevchenko's Chelsea in the semi-finals.
Shevchenko remains close to Milan's hierarchy and media reports have said his wife was behind their move to London. -
I almost read that one certain line as 'marriage to Kaka'.

hmmmm
-
it will be better for him to return to milan.
he is better suited for italian soccer. -
imagine going back to Milan and kicking in 20goals..
so ironical.. -
I think Milan boss is being mischievous... Trying to unsettle him? Of course they are not going to pay $30.8m back to chelsea for him... Maybe they want him back for free, just pay his super huge salary like with Crespo and Veron case. Or at most one third of the price they sold him for last year... $10m.

Can Chelsea sue Milan for unsettling Sheva? In my opinion, i think Chelsea would gladly send Sheva back to Milan. What a flop.
Cheers.

Shevchenko is lucky...
-
if he does go back to milan, chelsea are the biggest losers. no club are going to pay anything above 15m for sheva now

it will be even more ironic if he goes back to milan, play against chelsea in next season's champions league match, score and kick them out of the competition.Originally posted by iceFatboy:imagine going back to Milan and kicking in 20goals..
