Chelsea Have Made 'Really Big' Offer For Kaka

  AC 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."

   

  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."

  Sorry to bust your bubbles on team forming guys but Chelsea has now deny they made any bid for Kaka...

  CHELSEA DENY KAKA BID

  

  .

  .

  Chelsea have reportedly denied making a bid for AC Milan playmaker Kaka. Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani claimed on Sunday that the Serie A club had received "a really big offer" from the Blues. 

   

  The Rossoneri have repeatedly stated the Brazilian playmaker is not for sale, while Kaka has voiced his intention to stay at the club. It now appears that Chelsea are not interested in signing Kaka, even though they have been linked with a big-money move for some time, according to Sky Sports News.

  The speculation has increased since the appointment of Luiz Felipe Scolari as manager at Stamford Bridge. The former Brazil and Portugal boss officially took up his post at the start of the month and on Sunday he visited the club's Cobham training ground for the first time.

  The players will return for pre-season on Monday and Scolari is relishing the challenge in front of him. He told the club's official website: "It is fantastic to finally be here. The training ground is world class and I am very impressed by everything I have seen and heard from the staff. "I am looking forward to welcoming the players back from their summer holidays tomorrow so we can start working together."

  SCOLARI MAY TEMPT KAKA TO JOIN HIS BRAZILIAN BLEND

  

   

  WANTED MAN: Kaka is on the Stamford Bridge hit list

  Monday July 7,2008

  By Harry Harris

  LUIZ FELIPE SCOLARI arrives at Stamford Bridge today, eager to convince Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to bid more for Kaka than Real Madrid would pay for Cristiano Ronaldo.

   

  Adriano Galliani, AC Milan vice-president, said yesterday they have received a “huge” bid for Brazil forward Kaka.

   

  But so far AC Milan have said “no way” to selling him, although a breathtaking offer may well tempt them. Abramovich’s opening offer was £50m, but I believe Chelsea are ready to value Kaka as highly as Real Madrid are willing to fork out for Ronaldo and offer 100m euros (about £75million).

   

  Abramovich was after Kaka when Avram Grant was boss, which the Daily Express revealed last October. But Kaka was not attracted to playing under Grant, although Scolari’s arrival could change his mind.

   

  Scolari has endorsed Grant’s view that only the Brazilian magic of Kaka and maybe Real Madrid’s Robinho can alter Chelsea’s style of play. The arrival of Deco is the first step in producing the blend money-no-object owner Abramovich craves.

   

  The first  Brazilian coach in English football has a great chance of tempting Kaka to the Bridge. The belief Kaka might now rethink his position of wanting to stay at Milan, who have not qualified for the Champions League, has encouraged Chelsea that a breathtaking new offer for him would open up the route to negotiation.

   

  Chelsea could even offer up striker Didier Drogba as a make-weight in any deal, or possibly other players in part exchange. Robinho is more reasonably priced and could be snapped up for a bargain £20m. But Real Madrid are reluctant to sell unless they can buy Ronaldo from Manchester United, which is looking unlikely.

   

  Galliani also claims that Ronaldinho has rejected a lucrative offer from Manchester City, despite the Premier League club offering twice the money of the Italians. Milan and City have vigorously pursued the signature of Ronaldinho this summer after Barcelona announced they were open to offers for the Brazil playmaker. But the Rossoneri are short of cash and have admitted they cannot compete financially with City’s offer.

   

  However, the player himself has said publicly that he would prefer a move to more mighty sides like Milan or Chelsea. And Galliani claims he has made a good decision by turning down the offer of a much higher wage, reportedly up to 250,000 euros (£197,963) a week, from City to focus on a move to Milan.

   

  “Ronaldinho has rejected the offer of Manchester City despite them offering twice as much as we can,” Galliani told Italian newspaper La Stampa.

   

  Galliani added that the main stumbling block in any deal to bring him to Milan would be Ronaldinho’s wages and not the transfer fee. “He is not in the plans of (Barcelona coach Pep) Guardiola, so he has a more favourable price,” Galliani said.

   

  “But the problem is the wages. For us to be able to afford him, the transfer fee would have to be close to nothing.” Galliani raised the possibility of signing Ronaldinho, 28, on loan to make the deal more affordable but said: “It depends on Barcelona.”

  well, the thing is, with good players you can mix and match. push a midfield into second line defence, play wingers, 3 core defenders, 3 strikers etc.  kalou has every talent to take over from drogba!

  not very short also, if compared to makelele or SWP or j cole.  and he doesnt have to be good in the air also, just need to have good finish. but i agree, we need a good heading striker like drogba.
