Andriy Shevchenko’s Chelsea nightmare could be set to
end after Sampdoria claimed the striker would be happy to join
them.
The former Milan legend has struggled to cement a place under
successive bosses at Stamford Bridge since completing a £30 million
move in 2006.
Sampdoria’s general manager Beppe Marotta says the player is
keen to return to Italy, but the Ukraine international’s wages
remain a major stumbling block for the deal.
"We have a way to resolve our problems up front with a figure
able to stir up the crowd as well as put the ball in the back of
the net," Marotta told Secolo XIX newspaper.
"Sheva would be happy to join us, but there are problems around
his wages.
"Many top class players like
Sampdoria and a deal is entirely plausible,
so never say never."
