AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed he plans to open talks with Chelsea in a bid to take Andriy Shevchenko back to the San Siro.

The Ukraine striker has struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge since moving to England from Milan in 2006.

Galliani is keen to see him return and possibly form a strike partnership with Ronaldinho, whose agent is in talks with the Rossoneri over a summer move from Barcelona.

"It's possible that he (Shevchenko) will also arrive," said Galliani. "We will talk to Chelsea."

Shevchenko spent seven years with Milan and was the club's second all-time goalscorer when he left for London.

However, while Shevchenko has been unable to fit-in at Chelsea, Blues boss Avram Grant is intent on keeping him.

"I don't know what will happen next season with the squad but basically we want to keep the same squad for next year," said Grant.

"I know that it is reasonable that other clubs may want some of my players, but we want all the squad.

"I have not spoken to Andriy. He was injured and now he is better. That is what is important. He has had a very strange season. When he was good, he got injured and then it was not easy for him to come back.

"We are concentrating on the end of the season and his contribution to the team. I think he will stay."
