| According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan's vice president Adriano Galliani had a meeting with Roman Abramovich on the Russian's yacht in Portofino last week. The Chelsea owner made a personal last-ditch attempt to persuade the chief to let Kaka join the Blues. The Italian sports bible reports today that, while the Ronaldinho situation was still at a standstill last week, Galliani spent about two hours on the Pelorus, the Russian billionaire's luxury yacht. Abramovich was not willing to give up on his dream of signing the 2007 FIFA World Player of the year and wanted clear-the-air talks with the Rossoneri's transfer guru. The mega-offer to prise Kaka away from the San Siro was once again in the region of €100m, but Galliani confirmed that their star player is not for sale at any price. Last week Galliani had already stated that the rumours circulating about a Chelsea's swoop for the Brazilian were true, but Milan were not keen to discuss the transfer. Andriy Shevchenko's name also came up during the cordial chat: Galliani went as far as offering €15m for the Ukrainian hitman, but Abramovich turned it down. Sheva is apparently eager to leave Stamford Bridge to return to San Siro and Galliani has declared that if the striker were to depart the London side, it would only be to join the Rossoneri. This would allow the Lombardy club to have three Ballon d'Or winners on their roster: Kaka, Ronaldinho and Shevchenko. Milan have already achieved such a feat in the past (1992-1993) with Jean-Pierre Papin, Ruud Gullit and Marco Van Basten. Goal.com |
