| Roma prepare Sheva surprise |

Roma are set to talk to Milan about the prospect of bringing Andriy Shevchenko to the Eternal City this summer.
The Ukraine international recently returned to Chelsea after spending last season on loan at San Siro.
Milan have a great influence over his future, though, as he remains emotionally tied to the club.
They know Carlo Ancelotti does not want him in London and cannot see him figuring in Leonardo's plans either.
However, Milan feel they can do a better job than Chelsea at finding Shevchenko another club, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.
He is likely to cost nothing despite having another year to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge, as the Blues want rid of him.
Roma and Milan have a good relationship and intend to do a lot of business together ahead of next season.
The Giallorossi registered an interest in Shevchenko last summer and Luciano Spalletti reportedly met with him.
For sentimental reasons, the Ukraine international decided to rejoin Milan though, with whom he scored 127 goals in 208 appearances between 1999 and 2006.
However, he played little and failed to rediscover the form that once won him the Ballon d'Or.
Roma are looking for a centre-forward, who can give weight and experience to their rather lightweight attack.
Too often this season they came to rely on Francesco Totti and Mirko Vucinic to do all of the legwork up front.
