FIFA World Player of the Year

According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea from England, had offered $236 million to Milan, Italy, with the intention to buy Kaká. Last week the offering was around at $157 million.

The English club however denied this information. “There was no offer made. I have read many articles about it, but they have said that the player is not for sale. There is no reason to start a conversation about it if there is no intention of the other party in conducting the business,” said Peter Kanyon, manager of Chelsea, in a note published in the same newspaper.

Last week, Chelsea had made an offer of $157 million for Kaka. Milan, meanwhile, was quick to stop the transfer. Vittorio Mentana, director of communications, said in club’s official website that “Kaká is not for sale.”

The alleged offer of $236 million would be more than double the largest transaction already held for the purchase of a soccer player in history: $102 million paid by Real Madrid, Spain to Juventus, Italy,  to get mid-field Zidane in 2001.
