Milan and Sheva have finally got what they both wanted, as the player will return to his old hunting ground. Chelsea have announced the player will move back to San Siro subject to a successful medical.
One of the summer’s longest running transfer sagas has finally come to an end. The Ukrainian was favourite to go back to the Rossoneri before Chelsea scuppered the deal.
However, the English club have announced they have now agreed to allow the hit-man return to his old side.
A statement on the club’s official website reads: “Chelsea FC have agreed terms for Andriy Shevchenko to return to AC Milan. Details of the agreement will remain confidential.
“The move is subject to a successful medical.”
Milan also confirmed the player’s return via their official website, saying: “AC Milan announce that the club have agreed the return of Shevchenko with Chelsea.”
Uncertainty
Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has always kept the door open for Sheva and the club have never given up hope of his safe return. It is not yet known whether the player is back on loan or permanently.
Reports in Italy suggest that Chelsea didn’t want a loan deal to go through and it remains to be seen which option both parties have agreed upon.
Sheva has never really managed to make a significant impact in England and his return to Serie A is likely to delight Rossoneri tifosi.
The striker is expected to fly out to Milan this evening and will undergo a medical on Monday morning before being unveiled.
