Milan's vice-president Adriano Galliani claimed on 5 June that Chelsea were unwilling to let Shevchenko, 31, leave after signing him for £30m in 2006.<br /><br />But Berlusconi believes a deal is still possible, telling Gazetta dello Sport: "Sheva has a great desire to return. "The last time I spoke to Galliani, a couple of days ago, the probability of him coming back to Milan was 80%." Shevchenko has been continuously linked with a return to the San Siro after a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge.<br /><br />Milan, the European champions, are keen to sign a new striker and have reportedly targeted <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://arsenal-club.blogspot.com/" title="Arsenal Football Club">Arsenal</a> striker Thierry Henry and Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o. But Berslusconi appears to have his heart set on Shevchenko, saying: "I like [Samuel] Eto'o, he is young, but I am a romantic and I prefer Shevchenko.<br /><br />"There are no obstacles linked to his salary because he would be winning a similar fee as that of our top players.<br /><br />"We will have to negotiate his transfer with Chelsea, each club looks at their own interests. I really believe Shevchenko would be an ideal player to complete our attacking line.<br /><br />"I consider Sheva as my son. I have experienced important moments with his family, such as his father's heart operation and the birth of his son, who I'm a godfather to.<br /><br />"Andriy is still young, he's got so many years of his career ahead of him."<br /><br />[Source from; news.bbc.co.uk]Michael Comglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15912433278106536842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216948733557185419.post-26182818313653531102007-05-24T01:00:00.000-07:002007-05-24T01:08:22.561-07:00Inzaghi Double Ends Liverpool Dream in Athens<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 203px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAcKPuI1cbpCrbrK_f9pnTA-jEEvoCUrb9IOC1eLq2cvk_M7sc0V1t2b-Mm8Q_Ygpd8gYO6XlDlKPCJSX8kvjV6NoKOaYfnAS16QKV-RMsAdh0d5UO9eXOetldRDl8-SJQ3y2i5KMgDu-j/s320/Inzaghi_AC_Milan.jpg" alt="Inzaghi Double Ends Liverpool Dream in Athens" title="Inzaghi Double Ends Liverpool Dream in Athens" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5068035382888305826" border="0" />Pippo Inzaghi struck twice as <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);" href="http://footballgoalsclubs.blogspot.com/2007/05/ac-milan-football-club-3-0-man-utd.html" title="AC Milan Football Club 3-0 Man Utd Football Club(agg 5-3)">AC Milan</a> gained revenge for their 2005 Champions League final defeat against Liverpool with victory in Athens.<br /><br />Inzaghi scored a freak opener in first-half injury time, unwittingly deflecting Andrea Pirlo's free-kick past a wrong-footed Pepe Reina.<br /><br />Steven Gerrard missed a glorious chance to equalise before Inzaghi slid home a second eight minutes from time.
