Shevchenko endured a difficult season in the Premiership after joining Chelsea for a fee of around £30million.

He says he'll be a success in England if given the time, but Kaka for one would love to see him back in a Rossoneri shirt next term.

Fresh from that Champions League final success over Liverpool, he told Gazzetta Dello Sport: "I really hope Shevchenko comes back. I speak to him often, but unfortunately there are rules in football so you can't just turn around and leave.

"I am sure he would already be here if the decision was only up to him, but it seems there might be some problems."

Kaka meanwhile has committed his future to Milan, saying he'll honour the contract he signed through to 2011.

That will put paid for the moment to speculation linking him with a blockbusting switch to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

He said: "I have spoken to Carlo Ancelotti and told him 'we have both contracts until 2011 to win everything with Milan. We have decided our future."

Milan have also been linked with a swoop for Brazilian midfielder Emerson from Real Madrid.

And Kaka says he would be a great signing for the European champions, saying: "He's tough, he defends, he marks, and he stops opposing midfielders playing. He was a colossus in midfield for Juventus."

But one player Kaka doesn't expect to see arriving at the San Siro is Ronaldinho. He said: "I expect Ronaldinho to stay at Barcelona."
