| Kenyon says move for Kaka is unlikely | ||
|
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has refuted claims from AC Milan the Blues have tabled a 'conspicuous offer' for midfielder Kaka and insists a move for the Brazilian playmaker is unlikely. Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani was reported in the Italian press over the weekend confirming the Rossoneri had rejected a mega bid from Chelsea, while Kaka's representative fuelled speculation by claiming the 26-year-old would be interested in a move to Stamford Bridge. 'It's true that Chelsea made a conspicuous offer, but I will not say how much it was,' Galliani is reported to have told the Italian press. 'It is equally true that we said no. President Silvio Berlusconi rejected the chance to sell Kaka, just as he told Real Madrid no in 2001 for Andriy Shevchenko.' But shortly after arriving in China ahead of Chelsea's meeting with Chinese Super League outfit Guangzhou Pharmaceutical on Wednesday, Kenyon denied any knowledge of the offer. 'There was no offer made. I have read the same articles,' Kenyon said. '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.' Milan communications director Vittorio Mentana also reiterated 'Kaka is absolutely not for sale'. SOURCE : ESPN Soccernet I think Kaka's agent was wrongly misquoted in the previous article and Skysports got over-excited and decided to print it. |

| Kaka keen on Blues switch | ||
World Player of the Year would welcome move to Chelsea. Kaka's advisor, Diogo Kotscho, insists that the Brazilian playmaker is desperate to join Chelsea. The Milan forward has long been touted as a potential summer transfer target for the Blues, with reports now suggesting that discussions have taken place between the two clubs in regards to a possible £80million switch. In the past the 26-year-old was seen as being an unobtainable object of desire, with the Rossoneri unwilling to part company with a player who provides their greatest creative influence. However, with Kaka's international team-mate Ronaldinho having now been unveiled at San Siro, and with their financial difficulties well-publicised, the Italian giants appear willing to enter into negotiations with any potential suitors. Should the World Player of the Year secure a move to Stamford Bridge he would be reunited with Luiz Felipe Scolari, the man who handed him his international debut as a 20-year-old back in 2002 and included him a Brazil squad which went on to lift the World Cup later that year. Any deal seems certain to break the world record transfer fee, which currently stands at £46million, but Kotscho is confident that an agreement can be reached which will allow Kaka to take on a new challenge in the Premier League next season. Team building "Real Madrid offered 90 million euros (£71million) last summer and Milan did not even think about the bid," Kaka's personal assistant told The Guardian. "This time is different. This is the first time we feel that a deal will definitely happen. "Because of the situation Milan are in at the moment, the deal is good for all parties involved - Kaka's Agent". "The move would represent a significant increase in Kaka's salary, on top of the 10 per cent transfer fee that goes straight to the player anyway - some 15 million euros (£12million). "Chelsea are the club to be at right now. They are building a team to win everything." SOURCE : skysports.com |
