Speeches do not stop that the leader can move to London already in the summer, because the club offered 50 million pounds sterling for the Ukrainian.
A.Shevchenko himself said that after leaving "San Siro", he would like to play for only one club - "Chelsea", and the unsuccessful 2005-2006 "Milan" season could make him reconsider all offers next summer.
London's "Chelsea" strategist Jose Mourinho was already interested in A.Shevchenko before the start of this season, and now he has renewed his attempts to acquire the leader of the Ukrainian national team.
Reports in Italy claim that "AC Milan" is ready to sell him, and sources close to the player say that he really wants to move to Stamford Bridge stadium.
"Andrej will leave Milan only for one club, and that club is 'Chelsea'," a source says. "This is a step that he really wants, and he talks about it with great interest and joy."
J. Mourinho has previously been interested in Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o, but A.Shevchenko is now his main target. It is said that English champions' forward Hernan Crespo could be part of this deal, as the Argentine has stated that he would like to return to Italy in the summer.
