Andriy Shevchenko Offered Qatari Exit From Chelsea - Report
'Sheva' could be about to join the growing ranks of footballers winding their careers down in the Middle East...
Andriy Shevchenko could end up in Qatar next season as he seeks a way out of Chelsea.
Shevchenko is due back at Stamford Bridge next term after completing his loan spell at Milan, but, despite the presence of former coach Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, neither party sees a future for 'Sheva' at the club.
According to Vital Football, Qatari side Al-Gharafa Sports Club are preparing a move for the Ukrainian hitman.
Chelsea are unlikely to demand a fee for Shevchenko, but they have had trouble finding potential suitors due to his excessive wage demands, which currently stand at around €129,000 per week.
The Qatari club, however, would have no problem matching those fees, with the only stumbling block remaining whether Shevchenko and his family will be enticed with a move.
Al-Gharafa have already secured one major signing, having bought Juninho Pernambucano from Lyon.
