Shevchenko keen on Samp switch
-
Andriy Shevchenko’s Chelsea nightmare could be set to end after Sampdoria claimed the striker would be happy to join them.
The former Milan legend has struggled to cement a place under successive bosses at Stamford Bridge since completing a £30 million move in 2006.
Sampdoria’s general manager Beppe Marotta says the player is keen to return to Italy, but the Ukraine international’s wages remain a major stumbling block for the deal.
"We have a way to resolve our problems up front with a figure able to stir up the crowd as well as put the ball in the back of the net," Marotta told Secolo XIX newspaper.
"Sheva would be happy to join us, but there are problems around his wages.
"Many top class players like Sampdoria and a deal is entirely plausible, so never say never."
