Crespo: Milan move close

Hernan Crespo says his permanent switch to Milan should be completed soon.

Hernan Crespo says that his permanent move to Milan from Chelsea should be completed in the next few days.

The Argentinian scored twice for Milan in their UEFA Champions League final defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday, and is looking to join the Italians on a permanent basis.

Crespo has been on loan from Stamford Bridge all season and, despite Jose Mourinho still staying he thinks a lot of the player, he looks to be joining Milan permanently.

Crespo certainly wants to stay in Italy, and he now hopes a deal can be completed sooner rather than later.

"I hope that in days to come my transfer to Milan from Chelsea is finally resolved," said Crespo.

Although his own personal performance in Istanbul was good, Crespo admits he is totally distraught after being turned over by Liverpool.

"But I am destroyed in all senses by our defeat against Liverpool," added Crespo.

"In the first half we were so superior that I believe 3-0 was not enough. We deserved more goals.

"But in the second half we relaxed and paid for that. Liverpool did not win the final so much as Milan lost it."
