I was greeted with the most surprising and shocking transfer news of the summer this afternoon! (Well, maybe after David Villa’s £5.7m move to Atletico Madrid).
Milan’s playmaker Kevin Prince Boateng who was handed the iconic No 10 jersey last season has joined German outfit Schalke 04! Some of you may doubt this story but sorry to bust your bubble, the sale of the Ghanaian international has been confirmed on the Milan website.
Just a few days ago, he scored a brace for the Nerazzuris in their champions league playoff match against PSV and kissed the Milan badge afterwards. So what happened overnight? Of all clubs, why Schalke?
As if that was not enough, after Real Madrid’s 4-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna in a friendly, Ricardo Kaka who scored a brace in the game had this to say afterwards.
"I want to leave," Kaka said. "I think now is the right moment for me and for the club for me to leave amicably. I have spoken to Carlo Ancelotti and with the club, they all know.
."Things are difficult for me now in the team, and the club knows what I want. It's my obligation to work and keep training, but my father is already working to see if something comes up.
"I think it's the best thing for me and the club. We can only hope for a solution before this next Monday. My intention is to keep playing in Europe."
Emphasis on his last sentence “My intention is to remain in Europe”. This has put a lot of teams on alert. Even Liverpool are interested. (Lol what a joke!) But what I’m driving at is this, was Boateng’s sale to Schalke an indication that Kaka is on his way to the San Siro.
The 31 year old had a fantastic time with the Italian giants winning the Ballon D’or and the Champions league amongst other honours when Ancelotti was in charge.
Many would have thought Kaka will stay put at Real Madrid with Carlo Ancelotti’s appointment but he knows he has Ozil, Modric and Isco ahead of him in pecking order. His place in the squad is even yet further peril with the seemingly imminent arrival of Gareth Bale from Tottenham.
Furthermore, the world Cup is around the corner and at 31, it might just be his last to represent his country at the biggest stage before he retires.
He must definitely take a heavy pay cut though if he wants to join Milan and I’m sure he is ready for that.
So guys, do you think Kaka will join Milan?
