Ronaldo out, Kaka’ in? Summer just got interesting.

By: Rob | June 5th, 2008

You’ve probably heard the news that C-Ron has decided that if Real Madrid do want to pay £70m for him, he might as well play for the club he grew up dreaming he’d play for. What you might not have heard is that Ricky Kaka’ has been on Milan radio and said how much he would like to fill the void that Ronnie is going to leave.

At first it seems something to immediatly dismiss, hell I did. But apparently – I can’t find an offical source for it yet I’ll put it here if I Do – Kaka’ was on Milan radio this afternoon and had this to say:

“I love Milan. I’ve had a great time here, won the Champions League and some great memories. But football is all about challenges and I feel I’m ready for a new one.”

While that last sentence will undoubtedly strike fear into the fans of the many Milanista here, it doesn’t exactly get better as the interview goes on.

“I’m young and at the peak of my football and want to play at the biggest level. The Premier League is the best league in the world and it’d be fantastic to be a part of that. And obviously Manchester is the best place to be at right now. They are European Champions, so it’s fantastic no?”

Even Kaka’ thinks the Prem is the place to be at the moment. He hasn’t exactly had a good season in Serie A, and with Milan not in the Champions League, it sort of makes sense. He almost talked himself into it by the end of the story by saying;

“United have some great players. Giggs and Scholes are legends. Then there’s Rooney. And also Anderson who is a good friend of mine, how can anyone say no? They are European Champions. It will be a dream come true.”

To almost drive the stake home – an South American newspaper is apparently running the story tomorrow that Milan will accept the offer so they can get Drogba in. This is all conjecture untill I can find an official source, but I can’t think of a season where two of the worlds best players have moved at the same time – it would be incredibly exciting if this comes off. Who knows? As I said I can’t find a source beyond internet hearsay at the moment, maybe it’ll all come up tomorrow – if it doesn’t please don’t shoot me there’s a long way to go yet.
