"Milan" fans trying to persuade A. Shevchenko to stay at the club © EuroFootball.com

The AC Milan fans' group created a website trying to convince the club's striker Andrei Shevchenko to stay with the club.

The player, who also plays for the Ukrainian national team, expressed his desire last week to leave the club this summer and move to the English league, where "Chelsea" is considered the favorite to acquire the talented striker.

Although the management of the Italian club stated that they would not want to sell the player, Shevchenko's desire to change environment and Milan's ambitions to acquire Chelsea defender William Gallas could lead to the Ukrainian's move to the English league.

However, the fans of the Serie A team are making every effort to ensure that the striker continues to defend the honor of their club. The latest action by the fans is the creation of the website www.shevarestaconnoi.com. This name in Italian means "Sheva, stay with us."

On this website, fans of Milan from all over the world can leave their messages trying to convince the Ukrainian to stay with the club.

The club's management also expressed their desire to keep the player in their team, stating that they would choose him even if they could replace him with Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o, who stood out in the Champions League final, and Arsenal's masterful Frenchman Thierry Henry.

"What would we choose, Eto'o or Henry? My answer is to keep Andrei Shevchenko in the club. Thierry Henry could look for a new club, as it is very difficult for him to play alone in the attack in his current club. Meanwhile, Samuel Eto'o has more experienced attacking partners. However, I believe that it would be best for our club to keep the current attacking leader, Andrei Shevchenko," said Milan representative Leonardo.
