Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Milan will do everything in their power to bring Andrei Shevchenko back to Italy, even if the coach admits a transfer looks unlikely at present.
The Ukrainian striker remains a revered figure at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and, following a difficult campaign at Chelsea, has been linked with a return to the club where he won the UEFA Champions League and the European Footballer of the Year award.
Chelsea, in contrast, have not seen the best of the striker as he has scored just four league goals in a season where he has been roundly criticised for his contribution to the club's cause.
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani recently gave credence to speculation by revealing the Rossoneri were keeping a place in their squad open should Shevchenko seek a return over the summer.
Whilst Ancelotti admits he is desperate to see Shevchenko don the Milan shirt once more, the coach was warned that financial considerations could make any move unlikely.
"Adriano Galliani made our position very clear," Ancelotti told a press conference.
"It remains a difficult operation financially, even if Milan will do everything possible to bring him back.
"He is owned by Chelsea and their intentions are the main factor here."
Ancelotti will be spreading his net far and wide over the summer, with the Rossoneri coach also admitting he is a fan of Barcelona superstars Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o, as well as Marseille's French international Franck Ribery.
"Samuel Eto'o, Ronaldinho and Shevchenko are three world-class players who would improve any squad," added Ancelotti.
"
Franck Ribery is also a player I like very much. He is a dynamic figure and had a great World Cup."
Meanwhile, Milan have moved to play down speculation that Kakha Kaladze could be sold in order to prise Chelsea-owned Brazilian defender Alex from PSV Eindhoven.
"Kaladze, as our other big players, is not for sale," Galliani told the Italian press.
"All of our big players are confirmed and their sale will never be negotiated."
I've read the article before on Sky.
The only player who he said he would like to bring back is Schevchenko, that's no surprise.
The others are ones he has said he thinks would improve 'ANY' squad, and Ribery is one has has said he admires, that's nothing new in football.
You're telling me with Gillardino, Ronaldo, Inzaghi, Oliveira and Borriello they are going to bring in Schevchenko AND one of the others?
I doubt it, I could see Schevchenko going back there but I don't see Eto'o or Ronaldinho going there this summer.
Financially it's not feasible, and in terms of their squad, Schevchenko is the one that would fit in.
