Kaka: Chelsea interest

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani says the club have received an offer for Kaka from Chelsea.

Kaka has been linked with a big-money move to Chelsea after his fellow Brazilian, Luiz Felipe Scolari, took charge at Stamford Bridge.

Milan have repeatedly stated the playmaker is not for sale, while Kaka has voiced his intention to stay at the San Siro.

Galliani claims Chelsea have tried to tempt the club into parting with Kaka and that the Rossoneri have also received enquiries for influential midfielder Andrea Pirlo.

“For Kaka, a really big offer has arrived from Chelsea,” Galliani told La Stampa.

“For Pirlo, there have been many requests. As for him, neither Pirlo nor his agent have come in to my office asking for an improvement in his salary.”

Incredible

Meanwhile, Galliani says Milan supporters should not be disheartened if the club do not make any further signings this summer, despite the interest in Emmanuel Adebayor and Ronaldinho.

He added: “We do not have a transfer kitty stashed away here. Despite failing to qualify for the Champions League, the club is strengthening the squad and increasing the wages. This means we’ll be £35million in the red without (owner Silvio) Berlusconi’s help.

“The fans should be happy, as all we’d need to do in order to wipe out our debts is sell Kaka and Andrea Pirlo. Instead they won’t move, so if that’s not a show of love for this club, I don’t know what is.

“It is incredible that the supporters are not celebrating the arrival of Marco Borriello, who scored 19 goals last season, the fact Alexandre Pato can finally play a full campaign, Mathieu Flamini from Arsenal and World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta.

“As a fan, I too hope something else will happen, but Milan have already reinforced their squad.”
