- Rossoneri end Sheva chase
AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has signalled an end to his club's attempts to bring Andriy Shevchenko back to the San Siro from Chelsea.
The 30-year-old Ukraine star struggled to find top form during his first season at Stamford Bridge, prompting Berlusconi to try and tempt Shevchenko to return Italy.
However, Berlusconi admitted on the Rossoneri's TV station: "We don't feel able to make any offer which can please Chelsea.
"There are insurmountable obstacles tied to the player's value. I'm very tied to Sheva and I have always expressed my approval for his possible return.
"We want to reinforce our attacking quartet. We tried to sign Ronaldinho, but Barcelona president Joan Laporta declared him not for sale.
"However we are in talks about two attackers, two champions, and we are confident at least one can play with us."
Berlusconi also confirmed that no approach has been made for Brazilian ace Kaka, despite continuing talk of interest from Real Madrid.
"No-one will take Kaka away from here and there has been no attempt," Berlusconi added.
