After Maldini retiring and Ancelotti’s departure to Chelsea, here comes another blow for Milan fans.

Kaka is ready to leave Milan for Real Madrid or Chelsea after six glorious years at San Siro.

Spanish press claims that Kaka has already signed with Real Madrid despite the fact that the Brazilian international sustains that he is very determined to stay because there is his family and the fans are loving him after he rejected a move to Manchester City this winter.

If Kaka signed with Real then this is one of the biggest transfers from entire history and it was realized by Florentino Perez the same man who brought Zidane at Bernabeu from Juventus in 2001.

The former “Golden ball” who is under contract with Milan until 2013 would receive a five years contract worth €9 millions per season at Real.

The contract signing could be delayed until the end of the week and Ancelotti, his former coach at Milan is willing to take advantage on this and lure the Brazilian to Stamford Bridge.

Abramovic is ready to pay €80 millions for Kaka. This would become the most expensive transfer in the history. Also Kaka’s contract would be bigger, €12 millions per year.

Despite all the negative parts there is still a positive part in this business. With this money Milan would cover all the debts from last year and would also remain some funds for new transfers.

Kaka‘s missing could be covered by Ronaldinho who didn’t played too much time this season or Gourcuff in case he is not sold.

Inter proved again their domination in Serie A after wining their fourth consecutive “scudetto”, the 17th title in team history.

It is the first title for Mourinho in Serie A after only one year spent in Italy. Mourinho managed to win five trophies in last seven years with Porto, Chelsea and Inter.

Even if in Champions League and Coppa Italia, Inter did not played their best, the fans were absolutely delighted with the trophy.

Mourinho proved once again his manager skills and Florentino Perez is ready to lure him away from San Siro by paying the €7 millions release clause. Perez wants Mourinho to bring Ibrahimovic with him at Bernabeu.

Mourinho doesn’t seems to be interested by the offer even if he would be paid much better at Real and would have the chance to win a trophy in all of three major countries (England, Italy and Spain).

Inter are not willing to give up on their star and have set €100 millions price tag on Ibrahimovic.

Real Madrid have failed on the transfer market in the last couple of years and when they tried to sign Kaka or Ronaldo and they may fail also this year with Ibrahimovic.

Despite not being fully recovered after knee surgery Adrian Mutu is still one of the most wanted football players in Europe.

If we already knew about Bayern Munchen interest, another team from Bundesliga is supposed to be interested on the Romanian star.

Wolsburg are preparing a series of transfers to strengthen for the next edition of Champions League and Mutu is one of the top priorities on Magath list. There are reports that Magath already inquired Fiorentina about the amount that would be willing to give up on their star.

It seems that the two Italian International Zaccardo and Barzagli convinced Magath that Mutu would be the ideal player to succeed in Champions League, the two have played against him when they were at Palermo.

Also Bayern are still interested and could made a move for the player at the end of the season if Roberto Mancini will be appointed as manager.

Fiorentina could be tempted to give up on Mutu for a significant amount of money, considering that Mutu is 30 years old and Jovetic, who is playing on the same position as Mutu, plays better and better.

Federico Macheda was an anonymous few weeks ago, until Sir Alex Ferguson decided to give him a chance against Aston Villa.

Macheda was a key player in the reserve team of Manchester United, trained by the “Red Devils” former star Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Ferguson thought to give him a chance in the first team especially because he had lots of injuries in the attacking department.

Macheda took advantage of this opportunity and scored the wining goal in the injury time. This was followed by the Sunderland game when Macheda again scored the winning goal only few minutes after he came in.

It took only two games for this kid to be compared with Berbatov. Also Ferguson said that “this boy has something special ” but “he needs to keep his feet on the ground” and train the same like before.

Macheda also received a 25 times salary raise, he is now receiving somewhere around € 600.000 a year. Macheda was “stolen” by Manchester United from Lazio Roma 2 years ago for only € 48000 which represented the player training clause.

In Serie A a player can sign a professional contract only at the age of 17 years while in Premier League the minimum age is 16.

Chelsea is once again under pressure after Guus Hiddink has revealed that he will coach Russia at the end of the season.

The Dutch coach stated that he has a duty to the Russian players and he is going to respect it.

In this case the first name on Abramovic list is Carlo Ancelotti who would receive a salary of € 5.5 millions to lead the Stamford Bridge team. However Carlo Ancelotti apparently refused this offer and ironically Mourinho stated that he hopes that this subject will be discussed in May when he will be in holiday.

Like I said Ancelotti has no reasons to leave Milan, first of all because he won 6 trophies including Coppa Italia , Serie A, Italian Super Cup, Champions League twice and European Super Cup. Also Ancelotti would not leave a team which the same as Boca Juniors has “the most FIFA recognized international club titles in the world“.

Ancelotti is convinced that he will coach Milan also next season despite of lately poor results. Though will be difficult, Milan still have chances of winning the championship and this would definetly keep him on Milan‘s bench.
