Andriy Shevchenko's agent admits it is highly
unlikely the AC Milan striker will stay at the San Siro beyond the
end of the season.
Shevchenko returned to Milan on loan from Chelsea last summer
but has disappointed since his move back to Italy.
The Ukraine striker has found himself mainly on the bench and
has made just two league appearances this season, and Fabio Parisi
believes his client will not remain in Italy next season.
"Shevchenko is a player on loan at Milan from Chelsea and I
think he will return to London," he told www.Calciomercato.it.
"Frankly, I don't think it's possible that the Rossoneri decide
to keep him. "I don't know what kind of rapport he has found with
(Carlo) Ancelotti and his team-mates, the only problem is that he
is a player on loan and, given how the season has gone, I think
Andriy will return to Chelsea.
"If that's to stay there or not is to be seen, it depends on who
will be the coach and what he wants to do. "But I don't think the
doors of Italy will re-open for him next season.
"Anyway, Sheva will decide on his own, he's quite calm, he
doesn't need anyone's help. However, another country seems to me
the more likely option."
Shevchenko admitted at the end of March that he would probably
return to London but, after scoring for Ukraine against England and
providing a crucial assist against Lecce, the 32-year-old claimed
earlier this month that he hoped to still be at the San Siro next
season.
