You wonder if Milan knew he was going when they spoke to Gourcuff.

Or have they just lost Kaka and Gourcuff against their will. :lol2:

Where is the money coming from? €563m was Madrid's debt as of June 2008. What are the interest payments on a debt that large?

How does one pay off debt + interest and easily spend over €100m this summer?

Selling Kaka will be disastrous for Milan, even at his worst he has scored 16 goals for them and he has saved their arses multiple times. The thing is, they need quite a few players if they want to compete next season even without selling Kaka, they needed a centerback and a defensive mid and another striker. Now they also need a new attacking midfielder.

They won't pay off the debt; just pay the interest on it.

I also believe that a large chunk of the money for transfers is Perez's personal cash.

They will rely on Nesta, he's back now. Centerback problem is solved. Another striker, who other than Luca Toni? An attacking midfilder, they'll invest big in Montolivo or someone in the same caliber at most. They get to keep Beckham and that's it. Oh they sell the duck to Chelsea but feel overwhelmed that Borriello recovers from injury.

The rest sponsors Berlusconi's election campaign.

Milan braced for Kaka departure

AC Milan are struggling to keep hold of star midfielder Kaka as reports emerged that Real Madrid had agreed a world record £56m transfer for the Brazilian.

"I don't know if we'll be able to keep Kaka at Milan because they offer him so much money," said club owner Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Chelsea, whose new manager is former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, have also been linked with the 27-year-old.

Kaka's father and agent was in Madrid to seal the deal, according to reports. As well as Kaka's father Bosco Leite, AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani was also in Madrid, though Milan insisted that was because he had been invited to a dinner for the election of Florentino Perez as Real Madrid's new president.

Earlier this year Kaka rejected a £100m transfer and a reported wage offer of £500,000 a week to Manchester City and in an interview on Tuesday the Brazilian told Gazzetta dello Sport he wanted to stay with the Serie A club.

In January Berlusconi admitted the scale of City's offer made it difficult for the club to keep hold of the Brazilian.

Returning Real president Perez was previously in charge of the Spanish club from 2000 to 2006 during the famous Galacticos era that resulted in the spending of large fees to bring the likes of Ronaldo, David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane, for a world record £46m, to the club.

Perez's comeback is on the back of a pledge to relaunch another Galacticos era, with Kaka one of his chief targets.

When Ancelotti was confirmed as the new Chelsea manager on Monday he was immediately linked with Kaka as part of reported ambitious spending plans of his own, which are also thought to include Kaka's Milan teammate Alexandre Pato.

The 49-year-old Italian, who officially takes over at Stamford Bridge on 1 July, hinted at a potential move, and stated: "There is one player I would like to take but I cannot take him with me."

Kaka, the Fifa 2007 World Player of the Year, joined Milan from Sao Paolo in September 2003.The deal with Madrid is reportedly for five years, with a salary worth £7m a year.

Galliani has reiterated recently that Milan might find it difficult to turn down offers for their prize Brazilian assets.

"We have had requests for Kaka and Pato from two of Europe's biggest clubs and we will try and resist but there is an uneven playing field," said Galliani.

The King of Spain is a fan, and old money carries plenty of influence, otherwise y would banks continue to loan them money?

Perez fortune is estimated at $1.8 billion. It's possible he is contributing his own money, but his donations are more likely an investment rather than a gift.
