Dynamo Kiev offer Shevchenko the chance to shine after flopping at Chelsea and AC

13 May 2009 19:24
Andriy Shevchenko is being offered a chance to revive his playing career by moving back to his old club Dynamo Kiev. 'For a footballer like him, the doors of Dynamo are always open,' said club president Igor Surkis. 'If Andriy wants to continue playing top level football we'll give him this opportunity.' The 32 year-old has expressed a desire to remain at AC Milan but with only two goals this season in official games, and none in Serie A, it is unclear if the Italian club will want to keep its one-time hero. Surkis fears that Shevchenko's wife, American model Kristen Pazik, would veto a move to Ukraine, just as she was the moving force behind his switch to Chelsea three years ago, seen by many as a disaster for a striker who was seen as the best in Europe at the time he moved to Stamford Bridge but whose career has gone downhill ever since. 'It's very important too that his own desire coincides with that of his family. His wife may be not so keen on moving to Ukraine,' said Surkis. Shevchenko has voiced his frustration at not knowing his next destination. One rumour suggests Chelsea might waive a transfer fee for the Ukrainian.   Recently the player said testily: 'If you want to know about my future you better ask Roman Abramovich about it.'
