Sheva: I Have Always Been Close To Milan
Shevchenko had a glorious seven years at Milan from 1999 to 2006, scoring 127 goals in just 208 games, before leaving to join Chelsea following the last World Cup in Germany. His time at Stamford Bridge has been nothing short of disastrous, and he is desperate to return to San Siro this summer.
Milan are also keen to arrange a deal to sign Shevchenko, however, according to the striker’s agent, they are not prepared to pay a fee for him.
“There’s so much talk about a return, but I’m not at liberty to say anything more than that I have always been close to Milan,” said the 31-year-old.
“Whether or not I return, this side has given me so much. I grew at Milan and I won the Ballon d’Or and the Champions League there.
“I have great memories and relationships with my ex-colleagues at San Siro,” he added.
Shevchenko also said that he is especially excited for this weekend's Milan derby, which he reckons has the makings of a classic.
“It’s a unique and great game,” enthused the Ukrainian.
“I think that this derby is worth more to Milan because they are fighting for fourth place and Champions League qualification and it is also their home fixture.
“I wish all the best to my former teammates. I know how important it is to win the derby, especially now.”
Inter will keep hold of the Scudetto if the result they obtain against their city rivals is better than what Roma achieve during their tricky trip to Sampdoria, while anything less than a victory for Milan will very likely mean that they will be a high profile absence from Europe's elite club competition next season.
