The latest reports out of Italy suggest that Milan and Chelsea are busily hammering out a deal that will see Andriy Shevchenko return to the San Siro on loan at the end of the season.
The Ukrainian bomber has barely managed a sputter since his high profile move to Chelsea in 2006, and the latest suggestion is that the Blues have reached a point where they will settle with just having him off their payroll despite having splashed out a record fee for him less than two years ago.
The fact that he doesn't play a prominent part in Avram Grant's plans has been obvious from the start, and that was underlined recently when as his teammates prepared for the win over Olympiacos in the Champions League, Shevchenko was playing against Reading reserves at Brentford's Griffin Park.
Milan's fans would welcome the prodigal son with open arms, even though a recent poll suggests that not many of them regard him as an adequate solution to their striker crisis, which was exasperated by the potentially career threatening injury to Ronaldo last month.
Shevchenko, who has a rather unspectacular record of 20 goals in 68 appearances for Chelsea, is now considered fourth in line in the striker's pecking order at Stamford Bridge behind Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalou.
