Hernan Crespo has reiterated his desire to leave Chelsea and stay in Italy.
Crespo was loaned out to AC Milan this season and has scored nine times for the Rossoneri.
The striker is reported as saying: "I'm not sure what Chelsea intend to do with me but I'll do my best to convince Milan to let me stay"
The Argentine hit-man signed for the Blues in August 2003, for £17m.
He scored 12 goals in 21 games for the Blues.
Speaking about his relationship with Jose Mourinho, Crespo said: "He has always been very nice to me. He was disappointed when I left because he confessed to me that he had followed my career ever since I was at River Plate.
"But then Milan came along and he understood and allowed me to leave. I had an opportunity to train one week with Mourinho and he is very different from the image he gives - he is very prepared.
"I am not surprised by what he is achieving, I can only have nice words for him."
