Crespo deal done, says agent!
Hernan Crespo’s agent has revealed that the striker will definitely remain on loan at Milan next season.
Chelsea have refused to confirm that the deal is done but Fernando Hidalgo, who was present at a meeting between the two clubs earlier today, has no doubts.
"He’ll stay with Milan," he stated. "We’ll sort everything out next week. Chelsea want to wait until then to confirm the move."
It was widely expected that Crespo would stay but Hidalgo has surprised many by revealing that the player will remain on loan.
"Milan have netted another great deal," he added. "Crespo will extend his loan period for one more year, then we’ll see what happens after the World Cup."
Crespo has insisted for months that he didn’t want to go back to Stamford Bridge and his desire has proved key in negotiations.
"When a club wants a player and a player wants a club then there are no problems," continued his representative.
"Crespo’s desire was decisive. That is why he has agreed to take another pay-cut, which means his wages will now be entirely paid my Milan."
The former Inter and Parma striker, who initially struggled to settle at the San Siro this season, was a key figure in their failed attempts to win Lo Scudetto and the Champions’ League.
