Yeah! I see that hug is a different hug. It's not a normal hug after the game but rather than a hug for a goodbye IMO.

Everyone was hugging...

He looked very emotional when he was walking into the tunnel , im pretty sure its a good bye.

Lets hope not

The guy on Fox Soccer Channel was saying it looked like "goodbye" hugs, but it just looked like the normal after-match hugs to me. It was only because they kept the camera on Kaka so that you saw him hugging everyone (instead of switching around) that got people to reading a "goodbye" into it. And I had to laugh because at halftime they reported that Kaka's father and his agent would be flying from Brazil to talk to Manchester City officials on Monday, yet after the match they were saying that early editions of the Italian papers were "rumored" to be printing that the deal has been finalized. Well which is it? Personally, I would have thought that if Kaka knew this was going to be his last match he would have had tears in his eyes. He didn't. And he didn't seem to be making any special effort to salute the fans or anything. I think we should all just wait and see what happens before we have him gone already.

THats exactly what I said in the forum about the hugging thing

I really think Kaka is staying in Mialn after this match. He has not given me the sense that Sheva gave me when he left

The answer of this hug thing is in the coming days. Now no one know here if it's a goodbye hug or a normal one.

i will say damn damn damn and damn the managment of milan if they sell the boy,i loved milan becoz its a great orignization that makes u feel that u r in a family ,a club that attracts unique players with character and holds them till the end,not a commercial cooperation looking just for money.
we have the money and r a 100 million alot to club like milan???? seriously its nothing ,what will it do if it will make fans loose their loyalty and love to this club.
just like many and many if they sell kaka "a timeless and priceless" player,that means our managment has no dignity and they r just looking 4 money only to split between them.
bastards, im gonna loose alot of intrest in this team if they sell him,yes i love this boy as much as i love the team but i dont and i HATE the concept of selling such a player and such a symbol.i didnt think money is that important in the club of milan.

damn this managment who is ever responsabile in selling kaka,damn them and they should go to hell.
goodbye
rgrds
a previouse big fan of milan but now just an observer
i use to travel to milan matches but now i will hardly watch them on tv
p.s
if they offer a good price for pato in the future they will sell him as well,this is the begging of a milan going down
seriously and unfortunatly

That's a good banner.

Tomorrow's Inter came may be very important regarding the Kaka situation. If Inter lose or draw and we will be 6 or 7 points behind in the title race. That is not an insurmountable deficit with half the season to go and another game with Inter. How can they sell our best player with a legitimate shot at the title? It would really show Galliani and Berlu could care less about the club and the fans (if that isnt clear already).

a goodbay hug

I think this was the last match for Kaka in milan jersey damn damn damn berluskoni go to the hell

and just to add ,milan does not need money,they have enough to buy another 3 or 4 players for those who think we can use the money to buy new players,we have enough,we havent spent alot during the past years,the proof is that sold sheva 4 a big number"becoz he decided to leave" and we got him back 4 a lower number,we didnt spend that much at all to buy Zambrota,flamini, or senderos or pato.this club made alot and alot of money during the past years and did not spend big numbers at all,exept 4 rohni maybe but not as much as we offered him 2 years ago,remenber how much the cub offerd him?that means club has alot of money and they dont need money to buy another 3 or 4,this money will be split among some **bleep** decision makers.



if they sell him i will never be a fan for this club anymore,id rather watch tennis,at least no one can sell fedderer
Kudos! Thanks!

Kaka: Deeply reluctant to join City
• Adviser to Sheikh Mansour rubbishes transfer stories
• Brazilian believed to be keen on staying at Milan



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 that

Manchester 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.
