Ancellotti powerless to stop Kaka switch

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has admitted he will have no say over whether Kaka leaves for Manchester City.

After previously refusing Chelsea and Real Madrid permission to speak with the Brazilian former world player of the year, Milan have finally buckled after being presented with a staggering £108m offer from City.

Angry Milan fans are preparing a mass protest at tonight’s Serie A encounter with Fiorentina at the San Siro, when Kaka will play alongside David Beckham for the Rossoneiri against Fiorentina.

But Ancelotti admits he is powerless to resist the move, if Milan’s senior officials give the green light.

“It is not like the days of Franco Baresi or Paolo Maldini when we just used to say ’They are not for sale’,” admitted Ancelotti.

“I have said that Kaka should not leave. He is the central part of the future. But I am just the trainer. I train the team. I do not choose the players.

“If Kaka leaves then it is something I will have to accept. The question now is down to Kaka. It’s up to him if he stays or goes.”
