£100m Player? (country, rock, Europe, Brazilian, titles)

What is this 'soccer' ?

Jesus. My friend told me about this. Kaka definitely isn't worth it in the first place, and AC Milan is having a hard enough time to get in front of Juventus and Inter even with Kaka.

Futbol operates at a very different pay ethos than any other western sport, I can tell you that. You never hear of clubs investing this much into a player as Man City is willing to do.

I've got a feeling City will get Kaka.
It's clear Kaka wasn't too keen on the move, but my guess is Milan are after the £100 million and pushing Kaka away.

I was thinking that Man City's signings would show who was really in it for the money but then this bid came a long. Milan will do everything to push Kaka onto City surely.

Judging by the way this deal is developing e.g;
Kaka wants to stay at Milan and grow old with the club.
Followed by...Milan give Kaka the go ahead to talk to City.

I'd say the whole thing went a bit like this.
City approach Milan about a transfer and Milan say he's not for sale.
City say, "oh well... we're offering £100 million!"
Milan reply; "we'll get back to you"

He's suggesting the £250m figure will be over the course of a 4 year deal?

Thats probably about right when he will be making £24m a year in wages alone.

Still ridiculous.

Pretty much. No-one in the world is worth that sort of money. On the bright side though he could turn out to be another Shevchenko

Even if they get Kaka theres no guarantee it would help matters. They shouldn't be where they are to begin with. I'd love to see Robinho and Kaka contracted to a Championship club. It'd be hilarious.

Haha it would be quite awesome if a scenario went like this:

* Kaka goes over to City for £100m
* City get relegated
* Kaka's clause activates and he opts to go to another club
* Milan buy Kaka back for £10m
