Milan President Silvio Berlusconi has announced that he intends to bring Andriy Shevchenko back to the club amid a goalscoring crisis.
The Diavolo were knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday night having failed to score against Arsenal over two legs.
Sheva, who became the Rossoneri's second all-time highest goalscorer in February 2006 after netting 127 times in 208 matches, has struggled since moving to Chelsea three months later.
The Ukrainian, who was playing for the Blues' reserves this week, has never hidden his desire to return to Milan.
“I regularly hear from Andriy,” Don Silvio told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “And I believe that Roman Abramovich will have no difficulties letting him go.”
Il Cavaliere is not worried by suggestions that Milanisti would begrudge the return of the former FIFA World Player of the Year.
“The fans should understand that it would be the right choice. Andriy is a personable player and represents the best solution for us.”
Milan, who fielded a team with an average age of 32 against the Gunners, have also been linked with younger names like Lyon's Karim Benzema to help out on the goals front.
