Actually, Galliani didn't say anything (it's weird lol, he loves medias).

There was a theory on a site that it could be because of Piersilvio Berlusconi (the guy we all praised for his comments last summers) who wants some money to come back in the family ... but that sounds also weird as the money will go into Milan comptability and so they won't have this money.

Berlusconi didn't say anything too except, and there are contradictorial versions again like in all this saga: "I hope he'll stay", and depending on the sites "Kaka goes nowhere".

Other websites claim that Galliani didn't know what to do with such an offer, and like he is unexperienced with that, he asked to Berlusconi what to do ...

Anyway, more news tomor... today !! Maybe tomorrow too, but I hope we will be fixed before or after the Milan-Fiorentina game !!

Now, it's time to go to bed ...

Kaka` going to City is a loss-loss situation. I do'nt know why Milan will allow it to happen but hey, Milan has done million weird things since long time ago...

Ya it's interesting that Gaillini, Berlu, Kaka` etc. are all saying NOTHING to the media, but could that be an indication already? Or is it just an act to show how nonsense the media is when there is virtually nothing going on and, if there is, the drama is never quite there except social constructionsiM?

Even if Milan wanted to cash in on Kaka would it not make sense to enjoy him for a couple of more seasons and then sell him when he is older like Shevchenko.

Also, Milan arent run like a football club anymore. If we are refusing the money, then Galliani and Kaka should be stating so side by side in a press conference tomorrow morning.

Hey, how about politics?
No matter how good this deal can be to the Milan club, Berlu can easily be kicked off his Premier seat if somebody call election, he'll be marked as coward or anything even worse than that. Then somebody favoring Inter comes in, then, Galliani will be imprisoned and Inter will win another four scudetti, or eight...kidding.

Not funny at all. Well it was until you mentioned inter winning 4 more scudettos.

as Geo said, there has been nothing official to indicate we are selling kaka. Lets not worry.

Well Kaka did said right away he wants to be in Milan and grow old and be captain.
Berlu essenticall said nothing, and Galli is Missing In Action.

What I had been saying is that Galli and CO really did not know what to do with the offer, and thats why they are CONSIDERING it, b/c they need Berlu to make the decision.

Why all these media are going crazy are b/c this Jan is really dry and there is no news but this.

One more thing I remembered, the first sign of Sheva leaving came striaght from Berlu's mouth.

Hey, let's not forget that Kaka's spokesman said last night that no negotiations are underway with Manchester City, and that his dad/agent is on vacation in Brazil until the end of next week. The spokesman also said that Kaka is only thinking about tonight's game against Fiorentina. This probably means that Milan haven't yet accepted the bid, which fits well with the only statement the club has made, what Ancelotti said, and also what Mark Hughes said.

I think we are getting caught up in the media frenzy here. I think the reason for Milan's silence on the issue is that they are, in fact, assessing the bid. Given the current financial climate, it is understandable that they are, at least, thinking about it. But it is becoming apparent that they have not given the go-ahead for Kaka to talk to Manchester City.

This has several implications: One, it means that Kaka has no reason to feel betrayed by the club, prompting him to leave in the summer if not now. Two, it means that we may not sell Kaka at all. Three, it means that we should ignore all the media bull**** and only trust official statements and direct interviews with the club directors, the player himself and his representatives. I mean, how many of the rumors (and accepted "facts") surrounding this issue have been published by English and Italian tabloids with little to no credibility?

Blog: Kaka's curse

Usually a £107m transfer would have fans up in arms about mercenary players, but in Kaka’s case Susy Campanale pours scorn on the clubs

If Kaka signs for Manchester City, it will be a disaster for all concerned and for football as a whole. Not only will it make nouveau riche sides with bored rich owners think they can just come and buy up stars as if they were browsing the Louvre for something to hang in the hallway, but it would also cut 99 per cent of clubs out of the future transfer market. Paying anyone that sum of money is ludicrous, but City aren’t the real targets of my rage today. I am looking straight at Milan.

Kaka is not one of those players willing to throw a solid rapport away for the sake of cash. Regardless of how much City offered in wages, he would never demand a transfer for filthy lucre alone. He certainly wouldn’t go to Eastlands for the prestige of fighting against relegation and the hope of maybe in a few years qualifying for the Champions League. Even Ronaldinho turned them down! There is no reason on earth why Kaka would push for this transfer to go through. So why did Milan provide him with one?

In holding negotiations with Man City and letting him talk to the club, Milan have tacitly acknowledged they don’t really want him around. This, for someone who consistently rejected more tempting proposals from Real Madrid and Chelsea, must be heart-breaking. Ricky did not ask for any of this, but the Rossoneri have slapped him in the face, betraying all that talk of the side being “a family” the moment a new Brazilian walks through the door. Shame on you.

I understand many of you will point to the practicalities, the offer Milan cannot refuse, as with £107m they could rebuild an entirely new squad and begin a new era at San Siro with world class young talent. I heard similar statements at the time Andriy Shevchenko was sold for £30m and look how that turned out… Juventus could do it when they handed Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid and used the cash for Gigi Buffon, Pavel Nedved and Lilian Thuram, but the Diavolo executives have shown they will always nibble stale bread in order to splash out on champagne.

Of course, Kaka doesn’t have to accept this step down – way down – in his career, but the way Milan have gone about this means the end is nigh. If he remains, then he will be fully aware the club no longer wants him despite his proven talent, work rate and loyalty. So come the summer when Real Madrid and Chelsea come knocking again, this time he’ll do what these sides always wanted and push the move through, presumably at a far lower price than Manchester City are currently offering. And, frankly, Milan will deserve it.

Or maybe I was wrong. It's being reported by several newspapers that Kaka was crying as he left the locker room at Milanello today. If there is more truth to the rumors than I thought, then the club is behaving in an appalling way. I don't really know if I can support Milan anymore after something like this, if everything we've read turns out to be true. It means that the club cares more about money than its players and the fans, and that just devalues everything for me. It's like if your girlfriend of ten years tells you that she's never really loved you, she just wanted you for your money.

It's like I said in an earlier post - all deals with the Devil have their price.

sad thing is that its the other way around, Galli & co always rush to negate any bull shi* written in the paper....exactly this silence makes me wonder what is really happening or what has already happened,e a and it would be a suicide to do so before tonights game......but guys tonight we get the answer...if its Kakas last game in red and black we understand that...his an emotional individual.

The media are already talking about details in Kaka's contract.

If Kaka leaves Milan for Manchester City, it's only for the money.
If Kaka leaves Milan for Manchester City, he doesn't love Milan like he told us and therefore he is a liar (which, especially because of his beliefs, isn't good).
If Kaka leaves Milan for Manchester City, I won't wish him good luck.
If Kaka leaves Milan for Manchester City, I couldn't care less if his career was ruined just like Shevchenko's...

But, I still have faith in Kaka and his judgement and that he can't and won't leave us. Forza Milan!
