AC Milan chasing Shevchenko and Gerrard

Video Safari

AC Milan are preparing a massive double raid on the Premiership for stars Andriy Shevchenko and Steven Gerrard.

Corriere dello Sport says Milan powerbrokers Adriano Galliani and Ariedo Braida are already in contact with Chelsea about taking Shevchenko back to the San Siro as early as January. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is willing to send Sheva back to Milan on-loan, though Galliani will press to have a buy option included in the deal.
Meanwhile, along with Shevchenko, Milan will also launch a bid for Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
Milan directors are aware of Gerrard's strained relationship with Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez and unlike the Spaniard will guarantee the England ace a central midfield role should he agree to move to Italy next summer.
