Italian Serie A News :: Shevenchenko signs for AC Milan

Posted on 2008-08-23 by Gooner

In a shock move, Milan have announced they have signed Andriy Shevchenko from Chelsea

The news was confirmed in official statements on the websites of both clubs this evening at around 18.00 UK time.

"AC Milan announce we have agreed a deal with FC Chelsea for Andriy Shevchenko’s move to the Rossoneri," read a statement on their official club website.

"The player will be in Milan tomorrow so that he can undergo a medical on Monday. The terms of the economic agreement with FC Chelsea are confidential."

General manager Adriano Galliani revealed the details of the extraordinary development, which seemed to have collapsed because Chelsea would not release the player on loan.

"After a series of frenetic telephone calls throughout the day, we have agreed a deal with Chelsea," said Galliani on Milan Channel.
