Chelsea deny Kaka approach

Monday 7 July, 2008

Chelsea have denied claims from Milan that they have tabled an “astronomical” offer for Brazilian ace Kaka.

After a brief hiatus, the West London giants have been linked with the 26-year-old once again after former Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari took the bench at Stamford Bridge.

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani told La Stampa that Chelsea had put in a huge offer for Kaka.

Galliani also claims that there is interest in Azzurri midfielder Andrea Pirlo and that Milan’s financial problems could be remedied by selling their two assets.

“There have been lots of requests for Pirlo and all we would need to do is sell Andrea and Kaka to clear all our debts,” Galliani insisted.

But the Blues have told BBC Sport that there has been no bid and after the signature of Portugal international Deco they don’t seem to have Kaka in their plans.

Kaka, who has repeatedly committed his future to the Rossoneri, will be staying put at San Siro for the foreseeable future.
