Berlusconi not hopeful over Shevchenko

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi fears the European champions have been priced out of a move to take Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko back to the San Siro.

Berlusconi is keen to re-sign the Ukrainian, just 14 months after selling him to the Blues for £30m.

But he does not believe the Rossoneri have the financial clout to prise him away from Stamford Bridge.

He told AC Milan’s official television station: “I’m very tied to Sheva and I have always expressed my approval for his possible return.

“However, right now we don’t feel able to make any offer which can please Chelsea.

“There are insurmountable obstacles tied to the player’s value.”
