Chelsea hope to trump Real Madrid with mega Kaka contract offer

Chelsea refuse to give up on landing AC Milan star Kaka, despite his expected agreement with Real Madrid.

The Times says Real have an agreement in place with AC Milan to sign the Brazil forward for a staggering €65 million (£56.2 million).

Real had offered the player a five-year contract on a salary of £150,000 a week after tax. However, sources in Milan said that Chelsea — who were also targeting Andrea Pirlo — had offered the player “extraordinary” personal terms after they were advised that there was a hitch in the Kaká deal.

Chelsea will try to persuade Kaká to come to Stamford Bridge and join up with Carlo Ancelotti, his former coach at the San Siro who is now in charge at the Barclays Premier League club.

Kaká, who is on international duty, is believed to favour Real, but, in a further twist last night, Bosco Leite, the player’s agent and father, halted talks with the Spanish club after the interest shown by Chelsea and disagreements over his agent’s commission.
