“I heard what Leonardo said [about me staying permanently if Milan qualify for the Champions League], but I’m not in a position to talk about it. It’s an issue that concerns Milan and Chelsea,” he told Corriere dello Sport.

“Staying at Milan is my dream and the fixed thought in my mind, but I have a contract with Chelsea.

“Right now I just want to finish the season in the top four. After that we’ll think about it.”
