Chelsea striker Andrei Shevchenko has refused to
be drawn over reports of a possible summer return to
Milan.
The Serie A giants have made no secret of their
desire to bring the Ukraine international back to Giuseppe Meazza
after his difficult time at Stamford Bridge.
Shevchenko joined the Premier League side in a £30million deal
in summer 2006, but has failed to make any significant impact under
either Jose Mourinho or Avram Grant.
The once-prolific forward enjoyed great success with Milan and
has fond memories of his time in Italy.
He told Sky Italia: "There has been a
lot of talk about my return. But I am not authorised to say more
than that my ties with Milan have always been large.
"It doesn't matter if I do or don't come back, because this team
gave me a lot.
"They helped me to grow as a player and they helped me to win
the Golden Ball and the Champions League.
"I have great memories. The relationships with my former
team-mates are really important and they are still strong."
