Transfer!!!!
Chelsea are hoping that AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko will confirm his intention to move to Stamford Bridge Today.

Milan have reportedly offered him a new deal which would keep him at the club on a £115,000 weekly wage until 2011.


But Chelsea are prepared to pay £35m to bring the 29-year-old to London on a four-year deal worth £130,000 a week.


"Shevchenko wants to leave but we will do everything we can to keep him," said Milan president Silvio Berlusconi.


Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has been keen to sign Shevchenko since taking charge of the club three years ago.


He has never previously indicated an intention to move to Chelsea, but he appears to have warmed to the idea this season.


Asked recently if he was heading for England, Shevchenko told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I'm considering it and you will know my decision on the 24th or 25th May.


"I never said I had made my mind up to go to Chelsea. I just said that I was thinking about it for family reasons."


Shevchenko had said earlier this month that he was considering leaving the club this summer for family reasons.


He is married to American model Kristen Pazik, who is friendly with Abramovich's wife Irina.


But he remains extremely popular with the Milan fans, who have a 10,000-signature petition urging him to stay.


He has insisted he would not be moving to Chelsea for financial reasons, saying: "When you play for a successful club, it is not easy to find the time to learn another language.


"I don't speak the language of my wife and my son."


Shevchenko joined Milan from Dynamo Kiev in 1999 and has scored 19 Serie A goals this season.


He will captain Ukraine at the World Cup finals in Germany this summer.
