Chelsea out to scupper Kaka move

Kaka
Chelsea have moved to set up talks between Kaka and Roman Abramovich to try to prise the Brazilian out of Real Madrid’s hands.

The Blues know that Kaka would prefer a move to the Bernabeu but could just outbid Real with a £56m bid this week.

Despite reports that the Brazilian midfielder is close to a move to Real Madrid, Kaka is still at the top of the list of names that Chelsea are keen to sign this offseason and Abramovich has his cheque book on standby to enter a bidding war with Los Blancos if necessary.

Although Kaka has often reiterated his desire to stay, the signs from Milan - namely his representatives and father Bosco Leite - point to Kaka moving and bids are now being considered by AC Milan.

The midfield maestro would be receiving a pay packet of around £150,000 a week, which would set a new standard in the Stamford Bridge wage structure.

Chelsea's Russian owner Abramovich and club director Eugene Tenenbaum are confident that club stars John Terry and Frank Lampard will welcome the deal. Both players are the top earners at the club at £135,000 a week but any move to restructure their deals with the acquisition of Kaka would not be allowed.

Chelsea have re-signed Michael Ballack for another year, though he's had to take a pay cut from the £131,000 that he's been getting when he arrived from Bayern Munich in 2006.

The Germany captain was then blessed with the benefit of arriving on a free transfer and was given a big signing-on fee along with his weekly pay. The 32-year-old said: "I am very happy to be staying at Chelsea for one more year."
