Chelsea are ready to let Hernan Crespo join Milan on a permanent basis after telling the striker they can easily replace him.

The Argentine international is currently on loan with the Italian champions and he is eager to remain at the San Siro.

And now Crespo has revealed that the Stamford Bridge outfit have given him the green light to continue his Rossoneri career.

"Jose Mourinho (Chelsea boss) has asked me to stay," the forward told the Daily Mirror.

"But he has also said: 'If you want to go, no problem. There's a President here with a lot of money. If you go, he will buy another striker'."

Crespo, who has rediscovered his goal touch since his summer switch, has allegedly already agreed terms with Milan over a contract.

The Italian giants are now trying to reach an agreement with the Premiership leaders over a transfer fee.

The former Parma and Lazio ace was signed by Chelsea in the summer of 2003 after a £15m move from Inter.

However, poor form and an injury-plagued campaign hampered his brief stint with the London club.

chelsea should convert robert huth to be SC...then bring didier drogba to become DC...maybe jose M can become ball-picker..

I had read that Chelsea may give him another chance to impress dont think he really wants to go back though...........

I don't believe that. He did score a few goals at Chelsea but was hardly impressive.

such arrogance... HAH... Crespo's a great player. Its chelsea's loss.

Agree of course!

the Corriere dello Sport suggested it's going to be Adriano for 70m. That's just completely stupid, if we where Inter I'd take it. They could buy Chivu, Samuel, Totti and some replacement striker for that and they'd have an outrageously good team. Also unless Adriano single handedly won Chelsea the league and CL next 3 seasons how on earth is he ever going to be worth it?

I wouldnt worry bout it Meazza, Chelsea's stupidity in dealing with their finance is other clubs' gain. We should just take in the money and see them destroy themselves

I'm actually more worried Inter do accept it, they always spend over summer and with 70m to put in the kitty they could out chelsea chelsea.

Perhaps, but their buys over the years never really proved to be worthy of a trophy

But you do have a point though, if Inter does get a few good players - this time it might prove costly to us... If Mancini stays I really believe Inter might have something in their hands, because IMO Mancini made the team grow mentally too.

from what i've heard chelsea want to buy adriano for 100 million €uros,
but they're willing to give away crespo for 11.5 million €uros.
if they continue this way for like 3 more years they will go bank rupt..... all they will get their money from is the premier league...........(milan will dominate europe)

btw, sehnsucht79 i agree with your statements on mancini and inter.

but i dont worry so much on the opposition when i look at milans team- i mean we are the best

Adriano for 100 million euros. I know Chelski's rich and stuff, but even that is rather far-fetched. It's bound to backfire for Chelsea eventually if they really do go for that kind of deal.

they are millions in debt already but it doesnt matter much, if Abramovich wants to he could spend this much every year for the next century

inter would be stupid to sell adriano at any price... what i like about our management is that we make it perfectly clear who we intend to sell and who we would keep at anyprice... if chelsea approached us for sheva for that amount we would definatly decline, adriano to inter is like sheva to us... they should build a team around him, if they sell him its their loss because u dont get so many players of that calibre very often

Adriano is a grand player but IMO hes not "irreplaceable" ... Inter can make a profit out of him and buy quite a number of better players if the rumours are true about his price tag to Chelsea
