AC Milan (http://www.goal.com/en/teams/italy/1/milan) star Kaka (http://www.goal.com/en/people/brazil/49/kak%C3%A1) has agreed to join Real Madrid (http://www.goal.com/en/teams/spain/124/real-madrid), according to Sky Italia.

News of his impending transfer to the La Liga giants has been gaining momentum since this afternoon when it was rumoured Milan vice president Adriano Galliani and Kaka's father/agent were in the capital to negotiate a deal (http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/88/spain/2009/06/02/1301922/italian-media-kaka-agrees-to-join-real-madrid#).

The Spanish media later reported that a deal had been agreed for €65 million between the two clubs.

The former Ballon d'Or winner is currently on international duty with Brazil, but has allegedly given his stamp of approval to the deal. All that is missing is an official announcement from the two clubs, which is likely to arrive very shortly.

The 27-year-old made 31 appearances in Serie A this season for the Rossoneri, finding the back of the net 16 times in the process.

I have read that they are on their way to restructuring the team. They got a new president, Florentino Perez and a new manager, Manuel Pellegrini. Zinedine Zindane was brought on board as an adviser for Florentino. Florentino has already mentioned the posibility of getting rid of ten players.

Robben and Huntelaar should leave there...

[TwinTowers]

I think Madrid will move several players. I wouldn’t be surprised if Van der Vaart, Huntelaar, Heinze, Robben, and Sneijder leave Madrid this summer. Florentino Perez will shake the squad up

This just in. According to Sky Sports, Chelsea has made a £73.5 million bid for Kaka. Does this mean that the deal with Real Madrid is unresolved?

Chelsea have categorically denied making an audacious £73.5million offer for AC Milan playmaker Kaka.
Sky Sports News sources understand that the world record bid has been tabled in an attempt to bring the gifted Brazil international to Stamford Bridge.
The package is reported to include wages of £10million a year after tax, even more than Manchester City were prepared to offer during their failed swoop during the winter transfer window.
Carlo Ancelotti's appointment as Chelsea manager on Monday has only served to heighten suggestions that he could be prepared to raid his former club as aims to bring the UEFA Champions League trophy to the club.
But the Blues have moved to quash the fervent speculation that they were prepared to break the bank to ensure one of the finest players on the planet could be on his way to West London in the coming days.
Totally untrue

A statement on the club's official website read: "We have never made an offer to AC Milan for Kaka and therefore not one at this extraordinary level.
"As a consequence we have not discussed a salary with the player wither. Any reports to the contrary are totally untrue."
Kaka's future has been thrown into doubt despite continued claims from the player that he is happy with the Rossoneri and is not looking to move on.
Real Madrid were reported to have tabled a £56million bid for the gifted playmaker following Florentino Perez's return as president at Santiago Bernabeu.

Talk

Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has now admitted that he will hold talks with Kaka, who is currently on international duty, over his future at the start of next week.
"I will talk with Kaka next Monday and on Monday I will be able to reveal the decision," he told Italian TV. "It is early to think about what happens next."
Berlusconi claims he will leave the final decision to Kaka, and compared the situation to the sale of Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea in 2006.
"I can only say that we were very attached to Sheva," he added. "When an offer arrived that we could not equal, because I had a great friendship with him, I did all I could to convince him but in the end I left it up to him.
"It is always our lads who must decide where they want to play. Now we will see."

He wont leave. I guess he'll be staying until the end of his career.

Sneijder will maybe join Bayern Munchen, now when van Gaal took over. And I do think Drenthe should be released also.

Keep dreaming, Florentino could buy Kaka, C.Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and bring Zidane back from retirement and they still won't win a damn thing. Barcelona is just too good right now.

Kaka: Madrid move on the horizon



Kaka, given permission to meet with Real officials between World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Paraguay, is believed to have already passed initial tests. His full medical was scheduled to take place a 9am local time, 1pm BST, at the national team's base in Recife.
Unless there are any unexpected problems then Kaka will be confirmed as Real's first signing following the return of Florentino Perez as club president.
The fee is reported to be £56m, which would smash the previous world record of £47 paid to Juventus by Real for Zinedine Zidane in 2001.
Chelsea were linked with an even bigger bid for Kaka last week but that was later denied by all parties.
The playmaker remains desperate to stay at the San Siro but the economic realities of such a huge transfer fee mean Milan are eager to do business in order to provide new boss Leonardo with transfer funds. Ironically, it was Leonardo who helped persuade Kaka to join Milan from São Paulo in 2003.
Dr Jose Luis Runco, on the medical team at Real, told Spanish newspaper AS that club doctor Juan Carlos Hernandez had met with Kaka to put the final touches to the deal.
But Real Madrid will have to wait before they can parade Kaka at the Santiago Bernabeu due to the 27-year-old's commitments with Brazil.
After entertaining Paraguay in Recife on Wednesday, Brazil begin their Confederations Cup campaign against Egypt next Monday and will be in action until June 28 if they make it through the tournament.

Yes Kaka is still the same player technically, but his body might be breaking down. It might just be a one off thing, but Kaka missed alot of games and was hindered last year by a reccuring knee injury. Maybe he is completely healthy, but he could miss alot of game time. Then again they have top level physios hopefully they'd recognize if he had a major issue.

Valencia is going through at tough situation financially, and Real is one of the few times with a big budget to spend this summer...

C. Ronaldo, Villa, Kaka >>>>>> E'to, Messi, Iniesta

Only on paper. The trio from Barca is proven.
We´ll have to wait and see how C.R., Villa and Kaka play together.
For now, Barca´s attack is better IMO.

I agree, even though I'm a Real fan.

The Barcelona Big 3 has a great chemistry (which is why I believe an Eto-Ibrahimovic trade would be dumb, even though Zlatan is a heck of a player).

If Real gets Villa, the big 3 will have to build that chemistry

Eto wanted to leave since before the start of the season, so the trade does make sence. Chemistry will be an issue for RM, but they've proven they can handle such issues

You're forgetting Xavi.

Not to mention the leadership that Carlos Puyol supplies on the defensive end.

Barcelona is clearly the best team in La Liga right now, but RM is making amaizing moves, and the transfer season just started. I'm really looking forward to the next Derby
