| | Chelsea deny Kaka mega bid |

Chelsea have refuted Milan general manager Adriano Galliani’s claims that they unsuccessfully tabled a huge bid for Brazilian star Kaka.
As FIFA World Player of the Year, Kaka’s future has been a constant source of speculation and he has been regularly linked to top sides, such as Real Madrid.
But while these stories are usually little more than Press gossip, it seemed that The Guardian were justified in reporting that Chelsea had made an £80m bid for Kaka when Galliani revealed that there had been contact.
“It’s true that Chelsea made a conspicuous offer, but I won’t say how much it was,” the Diavolo director said on Saturday night.
However, now Chelsea have moved to deny that any such move was ever made.
“There was never any offer,” chief executive Peter Kenyon maintained.
“They made it clear that the player wasn’t for sale and so we never made any bid.”
Kenyon’s comments don’t seem to have stalled the rumour mill as today’s La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Chelsea are now willing to break the £100m barrier in their efforts to lure Kaka.
