Kaladze 'poised for Chelsea move'
AC Milan have not ruled out the possibility of defender Kakha Kaladze joining Chelsea, according to sporting director Ariedo Braida.
Reports in the media suggest the 27-year-old Georgian international could be making the move to Stamford Bridge in a part-exchange deal for striker Hernan Crespo, who is wanted by the Serie A giants after an impressive loan spell with the club. And with competition fierce at the back, Braida confirmed Kaladze could be on his way out and said: "It's possible (Kaladze could join Chelsea). For the time being Milan are not in talks with Chelsea regarding Kaladze but this could be the case in the near future." He continued: "We're trying to find a solution for Kaladze with another club, but if we don't reach an agreement with another club he will stay at Milan." Kaladze himself is keen to pursue his career away from the San Siro and appears eager for a move to the Premiership champions. He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I don't have my suitcase ready but Milan know that I am not happy and want to leave. "I have already spoken to (Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani and Braida and explained my reasons. "I am very comfortable in Milan but at my age the priority is to play. I think that next week the two clubs will meet and will decide everything. "I have already done what I had to do and now it is Milan and Chelsea's turn to find an agreement."
