Andriy Shevchenko

[chrismada9 1,948]

Chelsea's £30million flop Andriy Shevchenko is heading BACK to Stamford Bridge.

The striker's loan deal with AC Milan ends in May and they will not pay the £9m fee to keep him.

He has failed to make an impact at the San Siro and coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is in line to take over from Guus Hiddink, is not including him in his plans.

Worse for Chelsea is Sheva, 31, will claim his £121k-a-week salary and he has TWO years left on his deal after this summer.

The only way they can offload him is to make him a free agent though they could still have to pay him compensation.

Won't hurt to bring him back.

<h2 class="padding-bottom-7" style="font-size: 1.05em; line-height: 1.05em;"> DYNAMO KIEV are ready to rescue Andriy Shevchenko from his Chelsea nightmare. </h2> Shevchenko, 32, is due to return to Stamford Bridge in the summer after failing to impress during a loan spell at AC Milan.

With Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti expected to replace Guus Hiddink as Blues boss at the end of the season, the striker's chances of resurrecting his career in London appear slim.

But Dynamo president Igor Surkis insists he would be happy to see Shevchenko return to the Ukraine.

Surkis said: "For such a player, our doors will always be open.

"Andriy wants to continue to play at a high level — and we can give him this chance."

He can come, if he is happy to be fourth choice behind Drogba, Anelka and Kalou. Would rather he left and we got the wage bill down.

Roma are reportedly interested in Chelsea misfit Andriy Shevchenko, reports the Daily Mail.

The Italian side would expect to take the Ukraine striker on a free transfer.

The 32-year-old has a year left on his contract but has been told he can leave Stamford Bridge and are even considering paying up his £7million a year contract rather than welcoming him back after a loan spell at AC Milan.

^ thank the lord

because otherwise he's gonna be getting a £121k-a-week salary from us

[crazy1 24]

i think we should give him one chance. and arrival of carlo can be the turning point of his carrear in premier league. and dont forget he is a finisher. and why give him 7m pounds just fucking play him for this year and then let him go.

[Kez 2,727]

Ancelotti could get the best out of Sheva i reckon

[warnie_666 1,081]

Umm...He was on loan with Milan when Ancelotti was the manager. Hardly played any games.

Olympique de Marseille have reportedly rejected the chance to take Chelsea forward Andriy Shevchenko to the south of France next season and the Blues are now ready to offer the Ukrainian veteran to Olympique Lyonnais and Monaco, according to a report in Aujourd’hui Sport.

The 32-year-old goal-getter spent last season on loan at Milan after enduring a difficult two-years at Stamford Bridge, where he is still contracted. The Rossoneri aren’t expected to gamble on signing ‘Sheva’ on a permanent basis as he made very little impression at all last season.

Two mediocre campaigns in the Premier League mean that Chelsea are trying to find a new home for the former Dynamo Kyiv man as a matter of urgency. OM have already turned down the chance to take the 2004 Ballon d’Or winner to the Stade Velodrome and the report from France suggests Chelsea will now offer the ageing forward to Lyon and Monaco.

OL, though, have their eyes on different targets. As well as Porto’s Lisandro Lopez, general manager Claude Puel is reputedly interested in a move for Valencia’s Nikola Zigic, a giant of a centre forward, who netted 13 times on loan at Racing Santander last term. It is believed that the Spanish outfit, who are in well publicised financial difficulties, are seeking €10 million for the 6ft 8in striker.

Lyon, it seems, will not gamble on Shevchenko, however, Monaco could be tempted into a move. Lacking a world-renowned forward for several years, les Monegasques are attempting to rebuild a formidable squad, the like of which carried them to the Champions League final of 2004.

Shevchenko’s wage demands may simply prove too much for the Mediterranean coast club, who have boasted forwards the calibre of Juergen Klinsmann, Christian Vieri, Javier Saviola, Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet and Fernando Morientes in the past.

seems sheva may end up at Roma, that is if man utd sign vucinic. if not, i wouldn't mind seeing sheva back for one more try (considering both drogba and kalou will miss time due to the African tourney)

[Mungii 3]

One more year, we all know what he can do when he is at form!!...Hope he will be....

[SuperSheva7 0]

I agree Mungii! I miss watching Sheva play in Chelsea blue.....or playing at all!

[Matterz 67]

I find it strange that a lot of people want him back at the club but they all keep going on about our squad being too old and our wage bill being too high. Get rid of him and bring in someone better and younger
