GALLIANI EYEING CHELSEA STRIKERS

Posted 04/06/08 17:24

AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani claims he has been in talks with Chelsea about possible moves for strike duo Didier Drogba and Andriy Shevchenko.

Kaka's name came up in conversation with Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon according to Galliani, but he insists the 2007 world footballer of the year is going nowhere.

Galliani's claims came on the day Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti ruled himself out of the running for the vacant managerial position at Stamford Bridge.

Ancelotti labelled talk of him making the switch to west London as "fantasy football", but it appears there could be some movement between the two clubs this summer.

Galliani told Sky Sports News on Wednesday: "Yesterday we had a chat with Mr Kenyon of Chelsea.

"We were talking about football things in general. We still have a very good rapport with Stamford Bridge."

Galliani revealed a list of names, including Shevchenko, Drogba and Kaka, had been discussed, saying: "Sure we talked about all these things.

"But I can tell you for example that Kaka is absolutely not for sale.

"Just like Carlo Ancelotti he will be here next season."

Milan are desperate to sign a new striker, particularly after Palermo forward Amauri chose a move to rivals Juventus ahead of a transfer to Milan.

Galliani has previously indicated Drogba is high on Ancelotti's wish list, while Drogba himself was open about wanting to leave Chelsea in the wake of Jose Mourinho's departure last September.

Shevchenko has had a rotten time at Stamford Bridge since his move from Milan two years ago and a return has long been rumoured.

The Ukrainian has strong ties with the club and in particular with Silvio Berlusconi, the former president who stepped down after being elected to his third term as prime minister and who is godfather to the striker's son.

Ancelotti, meanwhile, has officially ruled out a move to Stamford Bridge.

He told Sky Sports News: "It is just fantasy football that happens every year.

"I will stay with AC Milan next season."

Ancelotti and Chelsea both released statements on Tuesday denying reports the London club had made an approach for the double Champions League winner and agreed terms for him to take over.

He was strongly linked with the Stamford Bridge post amid suggestions his advisors had reached a settlement with the Blues over a move to England.

The 48-year-old is under contract with Milan until 2010.

The Serie A club are keen to keep hold of the coach despite his lack of silverware this season and him failing to secure Champions League qualification.

Chelsea have been without a manager since the departure of Avram Grant last month.
