Chelsea To Offer Kaka £1m A Month

According to The Observer, Chelsea are set to offer Kaka £1m-a-month in order to tempt him into joining them this season.

Just when you thought the saga was over, once again reports hit the press over a possible Kaka move from Milan to Chelsea.

The most recent episodes in this soap opera started just over a week ago when it was reported that Chelsea had made a €100m offer for the Brazilian.

The next day Milan transfer guru Adriano Galliani confirmed that he had rejected a “conspicuous” offer from Chelsea but wouldn’t reveal a figure, before adding that Kaka was not for sale at any price.

Chelsea's chief executive Peter Kenyon then refuted talk of a bid for Kaka, but this didn’t stop the Gazzetta dello Sport from then reporting that the English giants were to make a gargantuan €150m offer for the Brazilian.

This was again rubbished by Galliani, who stated that the press were just making up the rumours, and would soon print stories of a €200m bid.

All talk of a transfer appeared to have died down until a report in The Observer today claimed that Chelsea are set to offer Kaka £1m-a-month in order to tempt him into joining them this season. This would make the 26-year-old the first £1m-a-month player in footballing history

"Kaka's contract gives him €9million in its first season and rises by a million euros for each of its five years," a Milan source revealed. "To better that, Chelsea will have to begin at more than £200,000 a week."

A source close to the World Cup winner also told the Observer that Kaka "has been offered a considerably bigger offer than Milan's.”

It remains to be seen what the truth is, and how both Chelsea and Milan react to this latest report, but one thing is for sure, and that is the speculation surrounding Chelsea and Kaka just will not go away.
