http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/5000208.stmShevchenko decision due in a week
Shevchenko has scored 19 goals in Serie A this season
Andriy Shevchenko will decide next week whether he will stay at AC Milan or move to Premiership champions Chelsea.
The 29-year-old Ukraine striker's deal expires in June 2009 but the club have offered him a two-year extension.
Asked if he was heading for England, Shevchenko told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I'm considering it and you will know my decision on the 24th or 25th May.
"I never said I had made my mind up to go to Chelsea. I just said that I was thinking about it for family reasons."
Shevchenko had said earlier this month that he was considering leaving the club this summer for family reasons.
He is married to American model Kristen Pazik and has insisted that a move to England would not be for financial reasons.
He added: "When you play for a successful club, it is not easy to find the time to learn another language.
"I don't speak the language of my wife and my son."
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and chief executive Peter Kenyon have confirmed their interest in signing the former European Footballer of the Year and Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has hinted Shevchenko may end up playing in England.
Shevchenko joined Milan from Dynamo Kiev in 1999 and has scored 19 Serie A goals this season.
He will captain Ukraine at the World Cup finals in Germany this summer.

Sheva offered new Milan deal
Milan have offered Andrei Shevchenko a new two-year contract in an effort to ward off interest from Chelsea.
The Premiership champions are determined to bring the Ukrainian to Stamford Bridge, but boss Jose Mourinho has accepted they have a major battle on their hands.
Shevchenko is currently contracted to The Rossoneri until 2009, and if he did put pen-to-paper on an extended deal it would effectively end Chelsea's pursuit.
However, the striker recently admitted that he was considering his options, and The Blues' spending power could yet prove decisive.
"Shevchenko's future is at the heart of every Milan fan and it's for this very reason that Milan have proposed to Andrei a contract extension until 2011," read a statement on the club's official website.
"In practice, another five years at the club would mean he would end his career in the Rossoneri colours and that would be a dream come true for the Milan fans."
Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi added on the website: "I hope he stays." i hope he go:icon101: 原帖由 AC米仔 於 2006-5-2007:10 PM 發表
