Chelsea owner Abramovich targets AC Milan playmaker Pirlo

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to test AC Milan's resolve over Andrea Pirlo.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Abramovich is prepared to offer mega bucks for Pirlo, who would follow coach Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea in the summer.

Pirlo, 30, insists he is happy at Milan, but is close to Ancelotti and wouldn't reject a move to England out of hand.
