Andrei Shevchenko will not be leaving AC Milan according to vice-president Adriano Galliani. "Technically the transfer wouldn't be impossible because a player can move twice in one season," Galliani told Datasport.it.

"However, Shevchenko will not be leaving. He is untouchable and he will keep playing for us."

The season ending injury to Real's Ruud Van Nistelrooy has raised talk of the Spanish champions moving for the Ukraine international, who has been unable to recapture the form from his first stint at AC Milan.
