Andriy Shevchenko has made it clear that he would like to finish his career with AC Milan.

The Ukraine striker moved to the San Siro on a season-long loan last summer and he is set to return to Chelsea later this month.

He has struggled to make an impact during his second spell with the Rossoneri and agent Fabio Parisi recently admitted that Milan were unlikely to extend his deal with the Serie A club.

Shevchenko is not sure what will happen at the end of the current campaign but he insists his preference would be to stay in Italy.

The 32-year-old is confident he could rediscover his best form and play a major role next season if given the opportunity.

"If you want to know my future you have to talk to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich," Sheva told Datasport.

"I don't consider myself to be an ex-Milan player yet. I am feeling good physically and I want to finish my career here.

"My objective is to get back to my best so that I can play at the highest level."

There has been speculation that Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti could leave his role and take charge of Chelsea but Shevchenko refused to be drawn on the rumours.

He said: "Ancelotti? You'll have to ask him. We all think he will stay."
