AC Milan claim they have been given the go-ahead
by Chelsea to open talks with striker Didier Drogba over a possible
move to the Rossoneri.
Galliani claims Chelsea have given them the green light to
begin discussions with Drogba, but have blocked any move to bring
Andrei Shevchenko back to the San Siro.
"Chelsea have authorised us to open negotiations with Drogba,"
Galliani told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Unfortunately, the response we feared came (for Shevchenko).
Chelsea consider Andrei unsellable. This epilogue makes us very
sad."
Galliani also revealed that Milan had started talks with
Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o.
Eto'o could leave Barca this summer as the Catalan titans plan
to rebuild their squad after a trophyless season last term.
However, Galliani claims Milan face competition from a number of
English clubs to sign Cameroon international Eto'o.
