AC Milan say Chelsea made ‘astronomical’ offer for Kaka
ROME: Chelsea made an “astronomical” offer for Brazil playmaker Kaka, a top AC Milan official reportedly said on Sunday .
Vice president Adriano Galliani was asked in an interview in La Stampa if it had been difficult to keep Kaka at the Serie A club, which is owned by Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi.
“For Kaka, we got an astronomical offer from Chelsea,” Galliani said. He did not say how much or when the offer was made.
Chelsea did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Kaka signed with Milan in 2003, coming from Brazilian team Sao Paulo. He had knee surgery in Brazil in May, and recently was quoted as saying he is on track to rejoin Milan to prepare for the upcoming season. – AP
