The clubs will be in the Russian capital competing in a pre-season tournament and could face each other on Sunday depending on results from their first games.

Milan are desperate to resign their former striker, who has failed to make much of an impact since his £30.8million move from the San Siro in 2006. He looked short of match fitness and confidence after coming on in Chelsea's 2-0 win over a Malaysia XI.

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "If I see Shevchenko in Moscow, I will say hello to him. The player will not go to any other Italian club apart from Milan."

Meanwhile, Didier Drogba's future is still unclear after his Ivory Coast team-mate Yaya Toure insisted the striker wants to join Barcelona.

Toure said: "I've not spoken to him in a few weeks but last year he was always telling me that he wanted to come to Barcelona."

But agent Thierno Seydi said: "There is nothing to say about his departure. He has a contract with Chelsea; he is not close to joining any other club."
