Kaka Keen On Blues Move

Kaka's advisor, Diogo Kotscho, insists that the Brazilian is desperate to join Chelsea, according to skysports.com.
The Milan playmaker has long been touted as a potential summer transfer target for the Blues, with reports now suggesting that discussions have taken place between the two clubs in regards to a possible £80million switch.
The 26-year-old was always seen as being an unobtainable object of desire, with the Rossoneri unwilling to lose a player who provides their greatest creative influence.
However, with Ronaldinho having now been unveiled at San Siro and with their financial difficulties well-publicised, the Italian giants appear willing to enter into negotiations with potential suitors.
Should the World Player of the Year move to Stamford Bridge he would be reunited with Luiz Felipe Scolari, the man who handed him his international debut as a 20-year-old back in 2002 and included him a Brazil squad which went on to lift the World Cup later that year.
Any deal seems certain to break the world record transfer fee, which currently stands at £46million, but Kotscho is confident that a deal can be done which will allow Kaka to take on a new challenge in the Premier League next season.
"Real Madrid offered 90 million euros (£71million) last summer and Milan did not even think about the bid," Kaka's personal assistant told The Guardian.
"This time is different. This is the first time we feel that a deal will definitely happen.
"Because of the situation Milan are in at the moment, the deal is good for all parties involved.
"The move would represent a significant increase in Kaka's salary, on top of the 10 per cent transfer fee that goes straight to the player anyway - some 15 million euros (£12million).
"Chelsea are the club to be at right now. They are building a team to win everything."
