MrJibbles Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 The prospects of Kaká making a world-record January transfer from Milan to Manchester City appeared to be over last night after a highly placed source close to City's owner claimed widespread reports of a £100m bid were "absolutely ridiculous". Kaká himself is also understood to be deeply reluctant to join City – whatever the fee and salary package – unless there is a change of manager.The adviser to Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, City's billionaire owner, told Observer Sport from Abu Dhabi last night that media coverage of City's offer for the Milan player, plus reported £500,000-a-week wages, was wildly unrealistic – giving credence to growing rumours in Italy that the story has been hyped up by Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi, in an attempt to earn good publicity when no move materialises and Kaká stays at the San Siro. First reports of the "£100m" bid appeared on a website owned by Berlusconi."The reports are absolutely ridiculous and so far wide of the mark it's unreal," said the source, who claimed that while contact had been made with Milan, any deal for the former Fifa World Player of the Year would involve an offer nearer to £50m than the reported £100m. "Kaká would command a price around that of previous world-best players. But at the moment it is difficult to pick an exact number."Luís Figo and Zinedine Zidane, who also won the Fifa award, were bought for £38m and £46m respectively, with the latter figure representing the current world record for a transfer, which was paid by Real Madrid to Juventus for the French midfielder in 2001.The adviser also claimed that, contrary to reports, negotiations have still to reach an advanced stage for Kaká, that no formal contact has been with the player, and that a defining element of financing any deal would have to include intellectual property rights to make it commercially realistic."A hundred million, in pounds or euros, is ridiculous," he said. "It doubles the previous record for a transfer and, in the current economic climate, how could there possibly be a return on that or a salary of £500,000 a-week? You could do so much else with that amount of money. And, whatever happens, there would be no lump sum payment: payments would be over time."You have to remember also that the player has not even been spoken to by us – he is simply one of a list that interests Mark Hughes. We merely said, 'Ok, this might be nice.' It's a process like viewing a house. If you like what you see, then you take it on a stage. It should be remembered that Manchester City's owner is an intelligent man. He will not just throw money at anything. And Gary Cook [City chief executive] was formerly at Nike so knows all about intellectual property rights."David Beckham's lucrative remuneration packages at Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy – he is thought to earn £25m a year at the US club – were financed by earnings from his intellectual property including image rights. Kaká, a devoutly religious man whose highly respectable image has already attracted blockbuster deals with Armani and Adidas, would be sure to generate millions in off-field earnings, which would be a complex part of any proposed deal.But regardless of the financial obstacles, Kaká's reluctance to join a club of City's stature also appears to have hardened. While City still expect to meet Kaká's father Bosco Leite this week, sources close to the player suggested last night that Kaká would want City to appoint José Mourinho "or a manager of close calibre" to convince him he would be moving to an "appropriate platform", and that City would be capable of rapidly establishing themselves as "one of the best eight teams in the world".Kaká is in regular contact with Brazil team-mates Robinho and Elano, who have found Hughes hard to work with at Eastlands, the latter complaining publicly about a lack of communication from the manager. Kaká has also told advisers he would not consent to a move from Milan unless the club had a coherent strategy to challenge for the Champions League trophy. The 26-year-old would further seek assurances that Sheikh Mansour will neither lose interest in City and walk away nor significantly reduce his investment in the club, as Roman Abramovich has done at Chelsea.Kaká's long-term adviser Diogo Kotscho told Observer Sport: "We have to see a good project, a winning project, for any club to be eligible to have a player like Kaká. We have to be convinced thatManchester City can turn themselves – in the short term – into one of the best eight teams in the world."Bringing Mourinho to Manchester would help, and City are understood to have made moves in that direction. According to one of the former Chelsea manager's closest advisers, the sheikh's representatives contacted Mourinho's camp shortly after their September takeover to offer him the City job with immediate effect. Mourinho swiftly rejected a proposal that would have doubled his already lucrative salary at Internazionale. He has, however, monitored City's progress since and such is his desire to return to English football has not ruled out the possibility of joining them next season.Mourinho's conditions would be similar to Kaká's – the promise of a front-seat role in a "very great project" coupled with a financial offer that would be extremely difficult to resist. Even the combination of both, however, are not guaranteed to bring City success in the pursuit of the pair with the political turmoil at Real Madrid another significant complication.Ramon Calderon's resignation as Real president over allegations of vote rigging has opened the path for candidates for the post to base their election campaign around the pursuit of Kaká. The player himself would prefer a move to Madrid, Manchester United or Chelsea –should Abramovich resolve his financial difficulties.http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/ja...ster-city-milan The Times run a similar story with Bellamy being signed for £14 million.http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle5537304.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJibbles Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 A delegation from Manchester City will fly to Milan this morning to try to secure an astonishing £103 million deal to sign Kaká. Mark Hughes, the City manager, warned that the club “cannot hang about” if they are serious about their intention to acquire the former World Player of the Year.City held a first round of negotiations with AC Milan about the proposed world-record deal on Tuesday and were encouraged to return to Italy today for a second meeting. Garry Cook, the executive chairman, and Simon Pearce, a representative of Sheikh Mansour, City's wealthy owner, are scheduled to arrive in Milan this morning for a meeting at which they hope to persuade Kaká to join a club who are four points above the relegation zone in the Barclays Premier League.

jcee Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Manchester City Claim They Withdrew From Kaka Negotiations With MilanThe saga is over, but the drama continues - the Citizens now claim that they pulled out of negotiations to sign Kaka, and it was not Rossoneri supremo Berlusconi calling the shots...Manchester City Claim They Withdrew From Kaka Negotiations With MilanKaka's expected move from Milan to Manchester City was on the verge of completion, with a fee even reported to have been agreed, only for Silvio Berlusconi to announce that the player was "unsellable".All negotiations appear to have now been terminated, but City now claim that it was they who decided to end their interest in the 2007 Ballon d'Or winner.City's executive chairman Garry Cook told the club website, "Whilst Manchester City Football Club has an obvious interest in world class players of the quality of Kaka, we owe it to our fans that such a transfer must work on every level; commercially, financially, in terms of results on the field and within Manchester City's broader community."Sky Sports have also reported that sources within Man City have declared that they cancelled the deal and in fact never entered negotiations with the player himself."Manchester City sources have told me in the last few moments that it's them who terminated discussions with AC Milan tonight - not the other way around - not the way it's coming out from Italy," said a Sky Sports reporter."Manchester City have not even had a chance to speak with the player.It's a very very different story coming out from Manchester City."Berlusconi tried to put out the idea that the fans have spoken and that they've bowed to the pressure of the fans."From Manchester it's a very different story. Which one you believe - who knows?"to be honest this is bad news for the big clubs, now they're gona make up for this by signing £100 mil worth of players lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
