Hernan Crespo has admitted he is worried that Kakha Kaladze's failure to seal a move to Chelsea could have scuppered
his own chances of moving in the opposite direction to Milan.
The Argentine ace spent the season on loan at San Siro and had been expecting to pen a similar arrangement for the
coming term before The Blues signed Athletic Bilbao left-back Asier Del Horno and not Georgian international Kaladze.
After failing to settle at Stamford Bridge Crespo is desperate to make the switch to Italy once again, although it has been
reported that Blues boss Jose Mourinho is now keen to bring the striker back to The Premiership.
Crespo's agent Fernando Hidalgo is working flat out to help the clubs reach an accord, and his client revealed that he is
desperate for the situation to be resolved in his favour.
"I'm not tranquil, I try not thinking and I wait to know what my future will be," Crespo told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I want to talk with Chelsea, I don't know when, maybe in these next days.
"I wait for my agent to define a meeting, he is trying to tell me to be calm.
"Surely Kaladze's negotiation has been involved in mine and something went in a bad way.
"But I'm absolutely confident in my agent Fernando Hidalgo who is working in a really good way to convince Chelsea.
"The English side know that the problem is an extra-football one.
"It refers to my private life and not to the sporting one, because it's obvious Chelsea are a really strong side and with
Mourinho I haven't had problems."
Meanwhile Milan are continuing their pursuit of Parma hot-shot Alberto Gilardino - as well as Crespo - as they look to
reinforce their attacking options.
It had been expected that The Rossoneri were out of the running due to Parma's prospective new owners desiring to hold
onto the Italian international, although Milan general director Ariedo Braida insists the club will still strive to recruit the 22-
year-old.
Braida also stated his belief that with Fernando Torres likely to stay at Atletico Madrid despite interest from Chelsea, Crespo
could well return to London - although the Italian side are expecting a decision within the next week.
"I don't know what ownership Parma will have in the future, I only say we are working to bring the player [Gilardino] to
Milan," said Braida.
"We will do the possible and the impossible to take him to Milan, we will try each type of solution, it is also his will.
"We are working to keep him [Crespo], I think in about a week everything can be solved.
"But I believe that Fernando Torres will stay with Atletico.
"Either he [Crespo] will be able to get away or he will stay at Chelsea.
"The parts have already an agreement for the loan renewal, either this hypothesis will be realised or unfortunately Crespo
won't play for Milan next season."
