MILAN, May 9 (Reuters) - AC Milan vice president Adriano
Galliani said on Wednesday a space will be kept open in the squad
for Andriy Shevchenko if he decides to return to the Champions
League finalists.
The Ukraine striker has struggled in his first season in England
with Chelsea and has been constantly linked with a move back to the
San Siro, where he spent seven successful years.
'Sheva remains in our hearts, he and his wife have been invited to
Athens to follow the Champions League final,' Galliani told a news
conference.
'As for the future, let's see, he is a Chelsea player. Anyway, he
knows, we will keep a place open for a few months seeing as after
his marriage Kaka has freed up a non-European Union place.'
Milan face Liverpool in the Champions League final in the Greek
capital on May 23 after the English side beat Shevchenko's Chelsea
in the semi-finals.
Shevchenko remains close to Milan's hierarchy and media reports
have said his wife was behind their move to London.
