Andriy Shevchenko hopes that former side Milan can stop Inter this weekend and has discussed a possible return to San Siro.
The Ukrainian marksman was a hero for the Rossoneri between 1999 and 2006 when he scored 127 goals in 208 games and he will be watching this weekend’s battle with interest.
“It’s a unique and great game,” Sheva stressed on Sky Sport Italia.
“I think that this derby is worth more to Milan because they are fighting for fourth place and Champions League qualification and it is also their home fixture.
“I wish all the best to my former teammates. I know how important it is to win the derby, especially now.”
After a miserable spell at Chelsea, Shevchenko has been widely tipped for a return to Milan this summer and Vice-President Adriano Galliani has admitted that he is a target.
“There’s so much talk about a return, but I’m not at liberty to say anything more than that I have always been close to Milan,” the 31-year-old commented.
“Whether or not I return, this side has given me so much. I grew at Milan and I won the Ballon d’Or and the Champions League there.
“I have great memories and relationships with my ex-colleagues at San Siro,” he concluded.
