AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has denied holding talks with Chelsea about a possible return to the San Siro for Andriy Shevchenko.

The Ukraine striker has been linked with a move back to Milan in the January transfer market after failing to make an impact with the Blues this season.

"At this time there have not been any negotiations with Chelsea regarding Andriy Shevchenko's return to our club," said Galliani on the club's official website, www.acmilan.com.
