In the Italian press on Tuesday evening, it is claimed that the English champion London club has agreed on the acquisition of Ukraine's national team striker Andriy Shevchenko and the player should be presented to the media in the new team on Thursday.
Last Friday, the Ukrainian announced that due to family reasons he decided to leave the Italian team, and then negotiations with Chelsea remained regarding the player's move to London. The Italian press reports that despite rumors that defenders William Gallas and attackers Didier Drogba and Hernan Crespo could be included in the deal, an agreement was reached on a "clean" 50 million euro transfer fee.
Both clubs have not yet commented on these reports, but they claim that A. Shevchenko will undergo a medical examination in the next few days and will be presented to the British media on Thursday. However, the deal would only be finalized in July, as there is a condition that the price could decrease by approximately 10 million euros if the player suffered a serious injury during the World Cup in Germany.
It is speculated that Milan is already looking for a replacement for their departing attacking leader and has offered 12 million euros for Cagliari striker David Suazo. The player from the Honduras national team scored 22 goals this season, breaking the club record and is compared to Milan legend George Weah from Liberia. However, according to a local Sardinian newspaper, it is stated in the player's contract that he could be bought by any foreign club for 5.5 million.
