Chelsea Now Make €150m Kaka Offer

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea are so determined to sign Kaka that they are set to make a gargantuan €150m bid to Milan, a fee that would absolutely smash the word transfer record.

It was reported over the weekend that Chelsea, who have been heavily linked with Kaka over the past few years, had made a €100m offer to Milan for the Brazilian.

Rossoneri Vice President Adriano Galliani confirmed on Saturday that the Italians had rejected a big offer from Chelsea for the 26-year-old, but wouldn’t reveal a figure.

Galliani has made it perfectly clear that Kaka is not for sale at any price, however today’s Gazzetta dello Sport claims this will not deter Roman Abramovich who is so desperate to sign Kaka that he is ready to smash the world transfer record and pay €150m.

The Gazzetta adds that it is highly unlikely that Milan will consider selling Kaka, even for this obscene price, yet the player himself may be tempted as he would net 10 per cent of the transfer fee.

"The Kaka-Chelsea operation would benefit everyone involved," said Kaka’s spokesman Diogo Kotscho.

"For Kaka there would be 10 percent of the transfer fee - 15 million euros - as well as a new contract."

The Gazzetta’s report contradicts statements made by Chelsea's chief executive, Peter Kenyon, who refuted reports of a bid for Kaka.

"There was no offer made. I have read the same articles," said Chelsea's CEO.

"They have made it clear that he is not for sale and we will make it clear we have not made an offer. There is no reason to negotiate over something they don't want to do and we have not made an offer."

Kaka signed for Milan from Sao Paulo in 2003, and has since won every major club honour in the game with the Rossoneri.
