Kaka rejects Manchester City move
AC Milan playmaker Kaka has turned down a lucrative move to Manchester City."Kaka is staying at Milan," said a club spokesman, after team owner Silvio Berlusconi told Italian television the 26-year-old had opted not to leave.
City issued a statement saying they had ended talks, believing it was unlikely a deal could be struck with Milan.
"A transfer must work commercially, financially, results on the field and within City's broader community," said executive chairman Garry Cook.
"The discussions reached only a preliminary stage and the player was not involved at any time." added Cook, who spent Monday in meetings with Milan officials and Kaka's father and advisor Bosco Leite. "No commercial terms were framed."
City's bid for Kaka was reportedly worth a £100m, more than £50m in excess of the current world transfer fee record Real Madrid paid to Juventus to sign Zinedine Zidane in 2001 and that the Premier League club were willing to pay the Brazilian weekly wages of £500,000.
"That's the end of the story," Berlusconi told Italian television. "I'm truly delighted to have kept Kaka at Milan.
"Kaka is a great champion and a great man. He's refused the offer from Manchester City giving privilege to Milan, his companions and his fans.
"He said it's because money isn't everything in life. Kaka is staying with us and we're delighted. Money is important, but there are also other things that are important.
"The fans are delighted too. Turning down so much money is something to admire."
Earlier hundred of Milan fans had protested outside the club's headquarters over the possible sale of the Brazilian to Manchester City in a £100m transfer.
Fans had also gathered outside Kaka's house and he responded by beating his hand three times on his heart while holding a Milan shirt.
On Saturday Kaka had played in Milan's 1-0 win over Fiorentina at the San Siro, with the home fans displaying banners such as "Kaka is Priceless" and "Hands Off Kaka", and singing "Don't Sell Kaka".
After the game England international David Beckham, who is currently on loan at Milan from US club LA Galaxy, had predicted the Brazilian would opt to stay at the San Siro.
"I don't think anybody in the dressing room is thinking about how much money they can earn," said the England international.
"It's about playing with the best team, with the best players in the world and winning trophies, and it's not always about money.
"Riccardo doesn't need my advice. He will decide what he wants to do, but he loves Milan. I don't think he will leave."
Kaka joined Serie A giants Milan from Sao Paulo in 2003 and has since won the Italian league title, Champions League and Club World Cup.
The attacking midfielder has scored 86 goals in 244 appearances for Milan. He has also picked up 62 caps for Brazil and scored 23 goals.
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, estimated to be worth £15bn, took over as City owner in September 2008 and extensive funds have been made available to City manager Mark Hughes.
So far he has secured the services of Wayne Bridge and Craig Bellamy during the January transfer window.
"It would have been an astonishing coup for City," BBC Radio 5 Live's senior football reporter Ian Dennis.
"But was Kaka ever going to come to City for football reasons?"
Kaka is under contract at the San Siro until 2013, and although he stated last February that he wanted to remain at Milan for the rest of his career, he had hinted at a desire to play in the Premier League - which he has described as the "best championship in the world".

佢係AC都幾乎乜都贏過啦,家陣有個chance可以有一個new chellenge其實都幾過癮
曼城又唔係Milan d rival, 而且係Milan都accept,我又唔覺得係反骨:icon032:
幫一隊剛起步的球隊打江山會是另一種樂趣:icon032:
當然你仍然可以繼續高呼甚麼忠誠戰勝金錢:icon084:
不過咁忠誠的話我勸kaka自己申請減人工:icon112: 原帖由 henrytam 於 2009-1-2011:46 AM 發表 http://www.hkcmforum.com/images/common/back.gif

米蘭卡仔擁天威 皇馬卡叔陷危勢
根據英國《太陽報》的最新「獨家消息」，曼城擬豪花2.43億鎊來達成收購卡卡的交易，當中1.08億鎊將作為付予AC米蘭的轉會費，另1.08億鎊用以支付卡卡未來五年的薪金，餘下2700萬鎊則屬經紀佣金以及簽約費等等。
銀碼多至不似錢
不論以上那堆天文數字是否屬實，看着讀着，是人是鬼也感過癮，似在玩大富翁遊戲，又似陰司紙滿天飛。唯一感到不自在者，應是紐卡素班主艾殊利，皆因喜鵲賣盤叫價一減再減，3億多鎊仍沒有人吼，人家一個卡卡，足以讓曼城開出「天上天價」，真箇「恨死隔籬」！
卡卡自小是虔誠天主教徒(按：該是新教福音派信徒)，今天貴為球王級巨星，口邊仍經常掛着「I belong to Jesus」。是以，曼城也算知機識趣，願為這位巴西球星開出「超凡」的條件，確屬「天上天價」，怕且卡卡背後的「無上勢力」耶穌也深受感動；也怪不得曼城中人，尤其主帥曉士對這項驚世交易甚有信心。
惟依在下看，AC米蘭今季的意甲成績未算穩定，儘管近億鎊轉會費的確難以抗拒，但半季中途放走卡卡，實在冒險之至。雖說大可利用那筆「橫財」認真擴軍，亦須候至季尾方可實行。若然AC米蘭來屆繼續缺席歐聯，縱有億鎊軍費，也難誘得高手來投。
既然曼城對於收購卡卡擺明志在必得，AC米蘭何妨拖延半季，待紅黑軍獲取理想成績才放人，並利用下半季時間認真獵頭，為來季整軍從長計議。總而言之，米蘭現今人腳不變為妙，免得惹來一子錯之憾。

米蘭前線半真空 英超列強鬥苦勝
AC米蘭去周末迎戰費倫天拿得以一球險勝，總算可全取三分而穩居意甲榜三甲。但在這場「僅熟」的比鬥中，坐於米蘭後備席上而可望為前線加強火力者，只得三十三歲的舒夫真高以及三十有六的恩沙基，以歐洲名牌勁旅來說，未免「寒酸」。
沒有卡卡 只會更差
縱使今季來投的攻擊中場朗拿甸奴可兼任前鋒並偶有佳作，依然反映紅黑軍前線後備力量未如理想，確實令人憂慮沒有卡卡的米蘭會是什麼模樣。
仍是那一句，卡卡若然要走或遭賣走，最好還是等至季後，否則紅黑軍縱有逾億歐羅在手，亦趕不及在下半季買得好成績，四強席位一旦不保，來季組軍難望順利。

Timing 不對。
Timing的確係唔好,1月份基本上係好難買返勁人,而且就算買到,都可能歐冠出唔到:icon101:
但其實我係覺得有可能因為個timing咁唔好先會有108M呢個價:icon101: :icon101: :icon101:
當然現在我地都只是從報道中估計
但如果係跟足正確程序落bid,先同球會接觸,冇私底下叫球員作反,而球會都accept的話
即係球會已經決定bear呢個risk
咁我覺得呢個timing問題已經不再是kaka的考慮範圍了:icon101: 買亨利番黎算啦
