I think that shevas returning to milan with loan did would not be good thing for both. Why would milan want sheva for the left of season, Milan need more striker that will play in milan also in future, at least three, four year. And for sheva that would be end of his career in premiership, how could he adapt to premiership when he doesn't even play there. For milan and sheva is the best thing that nothing happen, sheva play premiership and milan buy if buy rather younger striker.

Shevchenko reveals Chelsea doubts

Andriy Shevchenko is ready to leave Chelsea if Jose Mourinho decides he does not fit into his plans.

The Ukraine star, 30, has scored just three league goals since his £30.8m summer move and has been linked with a return to AC Milan.

"I feel at home and it's felt like my team for a long time but unfortunately my game doesn't suit Mourinho.

"Roman Abramovich is my friend but all he could do was insist on a loan deal instead of me being sold," he said.

Shevchenko, who scored his first European goal for Chelsea in Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League win over Levski Sofia, said he had not discussed his future with the club.

"But if it happens, I am ready to pack my bags," he said. "I'm a completely self-confident person. If I don't suit somebody then I'll go back to Italy and prove how good I can still be.

"I'm not finished as a player. On the other hand I have nothing to prove. Everybody knows what Andriy Shevchenko is capable of."

Chelsea owner Abramovich lured the forward to Stamford Bridge on a four-year contract in May in the belief that he would provide the goals to win the Champions League.

Shevchenko is still considered a hero by AC Milan fans after he helped them win European club football's greatest prize in 2003.

However, the former European Footballer of the Year has yet to find the dazzling form that persuaded Chelsea to break the British transfer record.
