Man City in ‘Kaka talks’ with Milan

MANCHESTER City have opened talks with AC Milan about signing Brazilian superstar midfielder Kaka.

Executive chairman Garry Cook reportedly spent the day in Milan yesterday and however AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi last night played down the speculation.

Milan have repeatedly claimed that Kaka is not available at any price.

“I know nothing about a Manchester City offer for Kaka,” said Berlusconi.

“I think he’s not transferable and given that is the case, he will stay at Milan.”

Kaka has been linked with a switch to Eastlands ever since the Abu Dhabi United Group took control at City.

Yesterday it was reported senior City representatives had met with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani to discuss a possible transfer.

AC Milan star Kaka had expressed his hope earlier this week that David Beckham would stay at the Italian giants beyond his current loan spell.

In 2007, he has won both the Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards.

He joined the then Champions League holders Milan in 2003 from Brazilian club São Paulo, making his debut within a month. He has gone on to score 62 goals in 171 appearances.

He was also part of Brazil’s 2002 World Cup-winning squad, only playing 25 minutes before going on to score in Brazil’s opening match of the 2006 campaign in Germany.
