Chelsea have confirmed Andriy Shevchenko will
rejoin AC Milan subject to passing a medical on Monday - but the
terms of the deal are "private".
A return to Milan has been speculated upon during much of
Shevchenko's two years at Stamford Bridge and the Blues confirmed
on Saturday night he will make the move back to the San
Siro.
However, Chelsea and Milan have not yet disclosed details of the
transfer or confirmed whether the switch is a permanent move or
loan switch.
The Blues signed the Ukraine international in the summer of 2006
but he failed to live up to his reputation as the world's finest
striker.
The 31-year-old scored just four league goals in the 2006-07
campaign and five last season as injuries and form undermined his
impact in west London.
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani told his club's television
channel Shevchenko will undergo a medical on Monday.
"After a series of frantic phone calls during the day today, we
have reached an agreement with Chelsea," he told Milan Channel.
"Andriy returns to the Rossoneri, tomorrow he will be in Milan,
Monday he will undergo a medical, then he will sign a contract and
from Tuesday he will be available to Carlo Ancelotti.
"We succeeded in bringing home the player who in the last 50
years has scored the most goals in our shirt.
"President (Silvio) Berlusconi and I am happy, as is our coach
and I believe also our players.
"I believe that Milan are the only club in the world to have
three European players of the year in our squad."
Galliani added: "Andriy has returned home and I am happy about
it. I am a Milan fan and I am very happy.
"I've spoken to Andriy 48 times in the past three hours...the
terms of the agreement are very private.
"Between today and tomorrow Andriy will be at Milan and he will
start again his life as a Milan player.
"Andriy made a mistake in leaving and I believe that in the past
two years he has realised that this is his home.
"Now he has made his financial sacrifices but at this point the
only thing that matters is that he returns to us."
