If there's one thing I've learned, it's to take reports out of the Spanish soccer media with a grain of salt. However, I've also learned that where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Late Tuesday, a Spanish radio station reported that Real Madrid have made a £56 million ($91 million U.S.) offer for Brazilian star Kaka to AC Milan, which the Italians have apparently accepted though the player hasn't said anything himself. If this is true, incoming Real president Florentino Perez wasted no time ushering in a new era of Galacticos football at the Bernabeu.
If anything, this report is odd since the price tag for Kaka is nearly half of the rumored £100 million that Manchester City offered in the January transfer window, only for the player to turn it down. (City did get its man, so to speak Tuesday, making a quick transfer for Aston Villa's Gareth Barry.)
It does, however, make any rumbling off a possible move for Kaka to Chelsea seem moot.
As was the case in January, this move seems to be contingent on Kaka himself actually wanting to leave the San Siro. Logic would dictate a move to Real Madrid has a bit more appeal than Manchester City, yet the Brazilian is a rarity in the modern game in that he doesn't appear driven solely by money. He has said in the past his heart belongs in Milan.
Why all of a sudden would he have a change of heart? Surely Carlo Ancelotti leaving for Chelsea isn't the only reason, is it?
Suffice to say, we'll surely hear more about this in the coming days. There are certainly at this point a lot more questions than there are answers.
