Shevchenko will leave Milan - but at a price
AC Milan have accepted Andriy Shevchenko's transfer request but have warned
Chelsea they must break the bank to land the Ukraine striker.
Shevchenko, 29, appeared alongside the Italian club's vice-president Adriano
Galliani at their offices in Via Turati in downtown Milan at a hastily
arranged press conference to announce his decision this afternoon.
Shevchenko said: 'I am leaving for family reasons - I want to thank the club
for everything it's given to me.
'There's no problems regarding my relationship with anyone in the club or
any financial problems.'
Galliani, in day-to-day control of the club owned by former Italian prime
minister Silvio Berlusconi, said: 'It's a victory of the English language
over the Italian language.'
That was apparently a reference to Shevchenko's American wife who reportedly
wants a move to England.
'I've tried to convince him to stay - even one minute prior to the press
conference,' continued Galliani.
'This is certainly the most painful divorce since I have been at Milan and
from now on we will begin negotiations with Chelsea and it will not be
easy.'
