MILAN, May 9 - AC Milan vice president Adriano
Galliani said on Wednesday a space will be kept open in the
squad for Andriy Shevchenko if he decides to return to the
Champions League finalists.
The Ukraine striker has struggled in his first season in
England with Chelsea and has been constantly linked with a move
back to the San Siro, where he spent seven successful years.
"Sheva remains in our hearts, he and his wife have been
invited to Athens to follow the Champions League final,"
Galliani told a news conference.
"As for the future, let's see, he is a Chelsea player.
Anyway, he knows, we will keep a place open for a few months
seeing as after his marriage Kaka has freed up a non-European
Union place."
Milan face Liverpool in the Champions League final in the
Greek capital on May 23 after the English side beat Shevchenko's
Chelsea in the semi-finals.
Shevchenko remains close to Milan's hierarchy and media
reports have said his wife was behind their move to London.
