English champions Chelsea are interested in Ukrainian Andriy Shevchenko, but according to Chelsea's head coach Jose Mourinho, it will be very difficult to come to an agreement.
"I can't say that Shevchenko isn't interested in us, but AC Milan is a powerful club that doesn't need to sell in order to buy a good player. It will be very difficult," said the Portuguese on Monday.
In recent times, Shevchenko's future has been constantly linked with a move to the English champions. The likelihood increased after the Ukrainian announced last week that he wants to leave his Italian club.
However, Chelsea's chief executive Peter Kenyon spoke on Sunday, saying that a long way still needs to be gone for the negotiations to be successful.
Jose Mourinho, who recently received the award for the best coach of the year in Portugal, mentioned that Chelsea is also looking for a third goalkeeper.
When asked if Benfica's goalkeeper Quim would be a suitable option, the Portuguese replied: "We'll see. I need a goalkeeper who is calm, experienced, a team player and ready to be the third goalkeeper, as Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini are the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. It's very likely that I'll find what I need in Portugal."
