Shevchenko Welcome With Open Arms - Maldini
Paolo Maldini has declared that Andriy Shevchenko will be welcomed back to the club with open arms.
Over the past month, there has been speculation that Shevchenko, unsettled at Chelsea, could be on the way back to Milan.
The player himself has asked for a chance to prove himself at Stamford Bridge, but Mourinho has been critical of him, and it is widely rumoured that they will let the Ukrainian go if they can nab David Villa - who can complement Drogba better.
However, there has been just as much debate about how he will be received, should he decide to return to the red and black half of Milan.
Skipper Paolo Maldini made it amply clear from his perspective.
"Every player that leaves Milan regrets that decision, but at the same time the club never forgets who gave a lot to this jersey," he said on Milan Channel.
"Milan never has bad blood with anyone, and I think that this is the secret and the philosophy that has made the difference over these years.
"From this base, it is easy to say that Sheva would always be welcomed with open arms."

Maybe... as a scout in 5-6 years?
