Luis Fabiano has opened the door to a move to the Premier League but only after next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

The Sevilla striker was thought to be close to a move to AC Milan at the start of the summer but the two clubs could not agree a fee for the Brazilian.

Chelsea and Manchester United are also reported to be interested in Fabiano with both clubs looking to bolster their strike force in the January transfer window.



However, the talented striker believes swapping clubs before next summer's tournament would be too risky and could cost him his place in the Brazil’s starting line-up.

"A January move would be too risky," he told Daily Star Sunday.

"You'd have to deal with changes too close to the World Cup and there's little time to recover from any setbacks.

"If a club approaches Sevilla then, they will make their lives as hard as they can, just like they did with AC Milan.

"But after the World Cup it's a different story.

"I see United as a team with a very interesting style of play, of passing, of crossing. I think it would be easy to fit in."Then there's the Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, whom I really admire, and Sir Alex Ferguson, too."
