Ukrainian international and Chelsea FC’s striker Andriy Shevchenko has been linked with a switch to Ligue 1 side AS Monaco, due to his uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.

One of the Europe’s most feared striker of the past, the 32 year-old spent last season on loan at AC Milan, after struggling to make an impact in the Premier League.

But with one year left in his contract with Chelsea the striker is still kept in the dark about his involvement with Carlo Ancelotti’s plan.

Although the player has admitted that he would be interested in a move to Rome based AS Roma, there are reports that AS Monaco have shown interest.

However, Monaco coach Lacombe does not believe the French side have the financial clout to capture Shevchenko.

“It has never been topical,” Lacombe told Aujourd’hui Sport.

“Shevchenko is not a possibility for us.”

“For a club like ours, it is impossible. ASM’s means are really inferior compared to what they were.”

“If Steve Savidan joins the club it will be enough for the forwards.”

However, Marco Simone, who represents Shevchenko in France and Italy, was remaining coy on the rumours linking the 32-year-old with Monaco.

Simone said: “There is nothing to say today. There is a possibility that is true, but I won’t say anything else.”
