Milan might not have it all their own way in signing on-loan striker Hernan Crespo, come the summer, with the news today that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho does not want to sell him in the summer.

Crespo himself would prefer to stay in Italy but admits that he feels he never had a chance to prove himself in England and could be tempted to do just that, with the right encouragement from Mourinho.

Milan on the other hand are desperate to hang on to the Argentine, but could be priced out of the market by Chelsea.
