AC Milan Are Set To Accept Manchester City's Offer of £100m

AC Milan are set to accept Manchester City's offer of £100million for Kaka.
Sportsmail understands that the relegation-threatened Barclays Premier League side are confident that the Italian giants will allow them to talk to the Brazil striker after City made a formal approach.
Sources close to the deal have also indicated that reports in Italy of Kaka turning down the offer 'were not made in the past 24 hours'.
The 26-year-old reportedly told Mediaset - a TV channel owned by AC Milan president Berlusconi: "I want to grow old at Milan. I want to captain this team.
"We all know that there is a pecking order at the club. Maldini and Ambrosini are before me but my ambition is to lead the club.
"There have been significant offers for me, which I have turned down."
Kaka's spokesman Diogo Kotscho has further fuelled speculation that a deal will be done after he told Sky Sports News that "a deal this month was not impossible".
Kotscho added: "Kaka will talk to Manchester City if the two clubs agree a fee.
"The Premier League is one of the best and he wants to play there. I don't know if it will be at this time or not.
"It is not impossible, but it will be difficult to reach a deal with AC Milan."
It is now up to the player to decide whether he wants to switch Milan for Manchester.
The Eastlands hierarchy are keen to have Kaka available for the visit of Newcastle on January 28, and are expected to step up negotiations with the superstar today after lodging a 'cash' bid yesterday.
A four-man delegation, led by chief executive Garry Cook, met senior officials at Milan’s headquarters with the authority to offer a personal cheque from Sheik Mansour for the Brazilian superstar.
The Abu Dhabi billionaire is prepared to make Kaka the world’s highest-paid player
on £15million a year after tax, the equivalent of £500,000 a week gross.
"We know about the meeting yesterday in Milan," Kotscho told Sky Sports News' chief news reporter Bryan Swanson on Wednesday.
