The owner and president of AC Milan, Silvio Berlusconi, was optimistic about Kaká's possible return to the 'Rossoneri' club. In an interview with Sky, Berlusconi stressed that Kaka, who currently plays for Real Madrid, is a "great player" and he has a lot of time for him.
"In football we're out of touch with reality, but I'm optimistic," said Berlusconi, who was less forthcoming about Mario Balotelli. When asked about the possibility of signing the Manchester City striker, the President of the Italian club replied: "I don't know, I honestly don't know."
Milan acknowledged on Friday that it had begun negotiations to secure Kaká on loan. The CEO of Milan, Adriano Galliani, said the Brazilian will return to Italy during the winter transfer period if the two clubs and Kaka himself can agree on one of the thorniest issues in the negotiations - the player’s salary.
Italy's "La Gazzetta dello Sport" said a 'Rossoneri' delegation will travel to Madrid on Tuesday to push negotiations forward. According to the paper, Milan and Real Madrid agree in principle on a 30 month loan, but have yet to fine tune some of the financial details.
Negotiations are focusing on the possibility of the Brazilian reducing his salary, which currently stands at €10 million. The player would be willing to drop to €7.5 million but Milan remains unconvinced.
