Milan Want Diarra, Cannavaro, Robinho…And Money For Kaká The good news for Real Madrid fans is that there does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel in the long-lasting soap opera that Merengue President Calderón kicked off when he promised to bring Kaká to the Bernabéu. The bad news is that the price is exorbitant.
Milan Want Diarra, Cannavaro, Robinho…And Money For Kaká

Reports published in Madrid daily ‘AS’ (Ace) place Kaká in the White House as from August, basing the information on talks that Galliani and Mijatovic had during the hard-bitten Ronaldo negotiations. Galliani answered Mijatovic’s inquiry about the Brazilian 22 in simple terms.

Kaká, who’s already commented “Only God knows where I’ll be in future”, could make the switch to Madrid but at a price that some see as nothing short of ridiculous. The Rossoneri want Cannavaro, Robinho and Diarra plus a significant quantity of money that’ll nudge over into double figures with six zeros. A hefty total price of 97 million Euros at current values.

Galliani and Silvio Berlusconi are both ready to see the Brazilian go – but the end-game here is to take advantage of Ronaldinho’s first unsettled patch at Camp Nou to bring Dinho to Milanello as compensation for the exit of the idolised Kaká. ‘AS’ claim that the player’s brother and rep Roberto de Assis has already given the green light to the Rossoneri.

To placate the expected fury of the Rossoneri faithful, the idea is to present a Canarinha front line formed by a ‘Triple R’: Ronaldinho, Robinho and Ronaldo. Backing this up would be the Italian Captain who hoisted the World Cup and a Malian midfielder that Milan almost bid for but were pipped to the post by a Capello who knew of the Rossoneri intentions.

The real stumbling block revolves around Diarra, whom the White House consider a diamond in the rough that can be polished into the finest holding midfielder in the world. The idea of seeing that happen at Milan would turn Diarra into a metaphorical conflict diamond rather than the jewel in the Merengue crown that Capello expects.

Drycurve this is not the joke thread...wtf is that

[quote]Nei giorni della trattativa Ronaldo nè il Milan nè il Real Madrid, che sono in ottimi rapporti, hanno parlato di Kakà. E' per questo che il quotidiano spagnolo As ci strappa una lettera aperta...

Senza la necessità di ricapitolare le puntate precedenti, anche perchè sono così tante che sarebbe pressochè impossibile anche per le avveniristiche tecnologie del web, ricordiamo e precisiamo ufficialmente: che nel corso della recente trattativa per Ronaldo l'amministratore delegato del Milan Adriano Galliani non ha mai fatto alcun accennno a Kakà, che in quei giorni nè Predrag Mijatovic nè Franco Baldini hanno mai chiesto notizie di Kakà ai dirigenti del Milan, che nel corso di questa trattativa si è parlato esclusivamente di Ronaldo e Ricardo Oliveira e che infine, ma il particolare è tutt'altro che trascurabile, i rapporti fra Real Madrid e Milan sono ottimi.

E' chiaro? E' molto chiaro? E' definitivamente chiaro? As, parliamo con te. Perchè devi sapere caro As che abbiamo deciso di scriverti come se lo facessimo ad un amico. E dal momento che chi trova un amico, trova un tesoro, abbiamo una ricchezza infinita di argomenti da sottoporre amorevolmente alla tua attenzione. Ad esempio: come te lo dobbiamo scrivere che Kakà non si muove dal Milan? Nel caso in cui non fosse sufficiente l'italiano, perchè fino ad oggi è dobbiamo purtroppo ammettere che l'italiano non è stato sufficiente, abbiamo a disposizione tante possibilità di scelta. Ci sarebbe l'inglese, ma sai, con quello che è successo a maggio, i giornali italiani finirebbero poi, e giustamente, con l'ironizzare. Potremmo scegliere il francese, se credi, anche per fare un omaggio al neo presidente dell'Uefa. Ma forse è meglio di no, teniamo le istituzioni sportive fuori dalle smentite e dallle questioni di mercato. Vuoi che usiamo il portoghese con l'inconfondibile slang brasiliano così Robinho, che hai chiamato in causa in maniera forse un tantino azzardata insieme a Diarra e Cannavaro, si tranquillizza?

Per farla breve caro As qui in Italia un brillante regista fiorentino ha realizzato un film dal titolo "Ti Amo - in tutte le lingue del mondo". Porta pazienza allora e lasciaci dire: KAKA' NON SI MUOVE DAL MILAN - in tutte le lingue del mondo. La frase è obiettivamente breve e semplice, quindi la puoi declinare come vuoi. La puoi tenere come pro-memoria in tutti i giorni dell'anno, feste comandate comprese, con ampia libertà di scelta anche nell'uso del carattere: in maiuscolo, in maiuscolo-minuscolo, semplicemente in minuscolo, in cirillico, con gli ideogrammi, con i geroglifici. Fai come credi, la puoi scomporre in vari modi e con gli spazi e i corpi del carattere che preferisci. La puoi anche pronunciare, mimare, illustrare con un disegno. L'importante è che non la dimentichi. E dal momento che è già qualche riga e qualche secondo, nella stesura del testo, che non te la ripetiamo, rieccol

a: Kakà non si muove dal Milan.

the press is full of this story but the thing is that everyone is quoting "AS", which is basically Real M's PR department. So, before we start bashing Galliani and cursing Silvio, let's not forget that AS has been writing stories about how Kaka is going to Real since this past summer.
It's just one of Real's usual transfer strategies to first create the rumour, unsettle the athmosphere and then work on that ... it did work with Zidane and all those "galacticos" but it worked because their clubs were willing to sell.
It's been Silvio's dream to see Dinho and Kaka at Milan together, so it doesn't make much sense to sell one in order to get the other, the older one, that is.
If there is any truth in these reports, which I doubt, Galliani and others would soon drop a clue or two about it, so let's not go haywire and lose it just because of another paper-selling story AS came up with.

Kaká, who’s already commented “Only God knows where I’ll be in future”, could make the switch to Madrid but at a price that some see as nothing short of ridiculous. .

this is the part that confuses me. when did he say that?

speaking of taking words out of context, it's from here:

however, I don't remember seeing that sipposed interview on other sources, let alone the official site.

actually, this is the offical site refuting all the rumours that AS created:

on the italian version of the site, it's much longer - what king tiger posted.

LOL haha, now THAT'S what I call "I see things the way I want them to be".

No truth to liar's stories. I'm calm now. Thanks pops

anytime kiddo

This is getting beyond a joke, can't we sue them or something!

As already mentioned, i can't believe we'd be willing to trade in Kaka, that's such a ludicrous thing to even contemplate. If he ever wanted to leave, then fine that's a different story, but while he's happy with us and happy in Italy, i see no substance in these stories.

No doubt should we ever get Ronaldinho, this will all happen again but with him!

Hate to be the devil's advocate here but in the event KAKA WANTS TO LEAVE it won't be the end of the world. Say that he does go and we sell him for like $50M + Canna+ Diarra+ Robinho then that would actually help us in our re-building. We need a good central mid and Diarra is young and talented and would be a gread addition to the side. With the $50 Million we could buy Diego who is almost exactly like Kaka + Diego takes free-kicks. Also we'd have an awesome support striker in Robinho. Canna at 33-34 would have two good years left in him

Its a slow press day in Spain....AS just needed a story...and why not the old: "Kaka to Milan" one, spiced up with all of 3 Madrid players going the other way....and Ronaldinho too!

Satisfies: the Madrid fan, who cannot be impressed by most of the three "proposed" departures...the Madrid fan, who wants Kaka in Madrid...and last but not least, the Madrid fan, who wants Ronaldinho to leave Barca...for anywhere but Barca....

Hmmmm good! Tasty!

A few days ago Football Italia reported that Milan was interested in swiss youngster Blerim Dzemaili. He is 20 years old and was in Switzerland's World Cup squad last year. He is captain of FC Zürich. Sounds like a great talent. His contract with FC Zürich expires at the end of the season. But now he is reported to have signed for Bolton...

Thanks Arildonardo! Always nice to see the resolution of the rumor!

Tribalfootball reported this:

Kaka happy at Milan
http://tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=28211

Kaka Won't Rule Out Move to Real
http://tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=28217

They use the same quote and manage to write two article about it

Anyway, even if we want to sell him I won't let them. I just bought my Kaka jersey, and there is no way that it going to rot in the back of my close like my Sheva jersey.
