Sheva in Milan loan link
Wednesday 19 March, 2008
Reports in Italy state that Andriy Shevchenko will return to Milan on loan next season and that a deal is already taking shape.
Shevchenko left Milan for Chelsea in the summer of 2006 after a phenomenal period at San Siro that saw him hit 127 goals in 208 games.
Despite the record-breaking fee of £30m, the Ukraine international has failed to settle in the Premier League and has seen his career stall at Stamford Bridge.
Sheva is highly likely to seek a new club at the end of the season and he has been sighted in Milan in recent weeks, where he is said to be house hunting.
There have been suggestions that a deal is already being discussed with Chelsea - who are unlikely to oppose the 31-year-old's departure.
Milan are looking to strengthen their front line with Ronaldo sidelined for at least another nine months and have been linked to a host of top names.
While Tottenham’s Dimitar Berbatov is reportedly an option, the vast sum needed to prise him away from White Hart Lane may be a stumbling block.
A loan may prove the ideal bridging solution for both sides and Sheva would be guaranteed the warmest of welcomes from the Milan faithful.

This situation (if it happens) will probably benefit all parties
