Sunderland selling Rade Prica to FC Copenhagen

.DJ · 10-08-2008, 06:00 PM

AC Milan midfielder Kaka is reportedly willing to move to London if Chelsea can agree a deal for him.

According to reports, the Brazilian has been the subject of a €100m (£78m) bid from Luiz Felipe Scolari's new side and is said to be unsettled in Milan after being refused permission to play for Brazil at the Olympics.

Although the world footballer of the year has not requested a transfer, he has apparently told his personal assistant that he wants to play Champions League football and that he could be a Premier League player before the end of this month.

'I spoke with Kaká yesterday,' said Diogo Kotscho, the player's personal assistant to The Observer: 'We know that the clubs are talking about the transfer, although they have not reached a conclusion yet. I think an August transfer is still a possibility, though Kaká will only talk about that when they do a deal. He is waiting for a deal and then he will start to negotiate with Chelsea.

'Normally, Milan do not sell their best players. We think they like the proposal, but it is not so easy for them to accept it. For now we must just wait and see.'

Any deal for Kaka would increase the Portuguese-speaking core at the club, having already signed internationals Deco and Bosingwa this summer and the Blues have also made a bid of £19.7million for Real Madrid winger Robinho.

On Kaká, a Chelsea spokesman said: 'The club's position remains unchanged. Milan have said that the player is not for sale, so we are not in negotiations with them.'

ForeverBlue'86 · 10-08-2008, 06:14 PM

Only person in the world i'd be happy signing for that ludicrous amount would be Messi, because 1) We have the money, and 2) He's the best player in the world and only just turned 21, and probably going to go on to become a legend.

Kaka is an absoloute class player, but £70-80M is a bit far fetched considering we already bought one off them for £30M, and he turned out to be the new Chris Sutton.

rooney da best · 10-08-2008, 06:18 PM

there is simply no way chelsea, despite having that sort of disposable cash, would ever spend it all at once on 1 player

well, i hope not anyway, kaka is awesome

robinho seems a lot more of a probable signing though, and for a proper down to earth price, none of this 70m bull**** thats been cruising around all summer (mainly with ronaldo

)

ForeverBlue'86 · 10-08-2008, 06:22 PM

£20-25M is still over the top, I don't like him one bit as a player, does even more step overs than Joe Cole and looks like he's built like a twiglet.

Only be slightly happy with it if we get a decent amount for either/both SWP and Malouda, highly doubt he can get any worse than those two.

rooney da best · 10-08-2008, 06:35 PM

19million isnt it? and yes, robinho is a million times better than swp, and he is definatly a large improvement compared to malouda
i would give malouda 1 more season, maybe, just maybe, if he gets a little bit of confidence, he will show the sort of form he was in france, and then you will have a versatile set of wingers there

you will just have to get used to the extortionate pricing really, look at the fees bouding around this season, liverspain paying 20m for keane

berbatov being priced at 30 million buy spurs

ronaldo at 70m

its part and parcel of the tranfer merry go round now

pizarro for hull city?

Adam11111 · 12-08-2008, 02:26 PM

I think that he might go to Stoke instead as they are a richer club and a better one.

Never heard of him or seen him, but apparently he's supposed to have come from Sportings youth academy, another Ronaldo, but Sporting lost patience with him and they're loaning him to us with the option to buy at the end of the season.

Not sure why we'd be trying to get him, we got plenty of top youth players of our own.

I read that he'll be going cuz the manager isn't going to play him this season.
But what on earth makes him think that he'll have any chance with Chelsea
