  Press reports suggest Hernan Crespo will learn whether his future lies at Chelsea or Internazionale sooner rather than later.
  
  Crespo is on loan to the Serie A champions until the end of next season, but The Blues have the option to bring the striker back to Stamford Bridge this summer.
  
  The Argentinian international has frequently stated his desire to stay at Inter next term, but Jose Mourinho recently confirmed an interest in bringing him back.
  
  Crespo's agent Fernando Hidalgo has travelled to London for showdown talks with Chelsea officials about their plans for the former Milan man.
  
  Inter and Crespo are awaiting news from the discussions, with the 31-year-old hoping that Chelsea's promise of him staying with the Nerazzurri stands.
  
  Chelsea have until 31st May to make their final decision known to Inter.

  I don't think he'll return to Chelsea for the 3rd time. Unless Sheva leaves.
  
  Cheers.

  Crespo will be good for Chelsea CL campaign,he is just like Inzaghi. A proacher in box. With Chelsea no big money to spend on striker,bringing Crespo back will be a logical option.

  CRESPO READY TO STAY AT INTER
  
  Hernan Crespo believes there is a "99% chance" he will remain with Internazionale for the 2007-08 campaign instead of returning to Chelsea. The Argentinian striker is about to finish the first of a two-year loan deal at Inter, but the London club do have the option of bringing the player back to England.
  
  If Chelsea are to exercise that option, however, they must do so by May 31. Crespo would give the Premiership giants another top striker and it would seem a plausible move for Blues boss Jose Mourinho with Andriy Shevchenko having endured a difficult year after moving from AC Milan.
  
  However, Didier Drogba did hit form this season and helped fire Chelsea to FA Cup glory and Arjen Robben also played very well. All the indications Crespo has received from his agent are that he will be in Serie A next season. "It is not official yet but there is a 99% chance that I will remain at Inter," the 31-year-old Crespo said to Gazzetta dello Sport.
  
  "I want to thank Chelsea and my agent, who has done a miracle job. It is a present that has no price. "I am delighted but I want to wait until May 31 before celebrating."
