The English giants are long-term admirers of Kaka, and have been linked with a move for him almost all summer.
Last month it was reported in the press that Chelsea had made a €100m offer for the European and World Footballer of the Year and, although this wasn’t confirmed, Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani did note that the club had rejected a “conspicuous” offer from Chelsea.
Since then, there have been numerous figures thrown about by the press, with the Italian media even stating that Chelsea were prepared to fork out a whopping €150m for the midfielder.
The Daily Star, following on from a similar report in the Italian press at the weekend, is now claiming that Kaka has a good chance of making the move to Stamford Bridge next summer for €90m.
The groundwork was done during the deal which saw Andriy Shevchenko return to San Siro on Saturday afternoon. Relations between the two clubs are excellent now, and there have even been rumours that Milan have handed Chelsea a transfer option on Kaka. The option would mean that Chelsea would have first refusal on Kaka should he become available to buy, and according to the Star this is a very real scenario.
