Kaka: Milan, buy me Messi!
Wednesday 7 May, 2008

If Ronaldinho isn’t set to join Milan, then Kaka has asked for another Barcelona star – Lionel Messi.

“If Adriano Galliani ever gave me the reins to the transfer market, I would sign Messi,” revealed the Brazilian on Sky Italia.

“At this moment in time he is a player I like to watch. He can make the difference in an incredible way. If I could sign any player, yes, it would be Messi.”

Although the pint-sized Argentine has indeed been linked with a switch to San Siro, up until now it has only been towards Inter.

As the Ronaldinho deal appears to be crumbling based on recent medical tests, the negotiations with Barcelona could instead turn to Messi.

“Can we play together? Of course,” continued Kaka. “I can play with Messi, with Ronaldinho, with Alexandre Pato and with Pippo Inzaghi. It is just an issue of adapting to each other.”

Kaka did not get much opportunity to play alongside Ronaldo, whose snapped knee tendon has ruled him out for eight months.

Il Fenomeno has been in the headlines for non-football matters, as the three transsexual prostitutes who claimed they slept with him and did drugs have now retracted their stories, admitting they were trying to extort money from the striker.

Nonetheless, the incident has left a stain on his reputation, something that deeply religious family man Kaka is unaccustomed to.

“I tried calling him, but we know Ronie is a bit out of the loop at the moment. I respect him for what he has been through and this is a difficult time.

“I try to stay close to him as much as possible in every situation. I respect him a great deal and he is a very good person. Those who know him are aware of his values.

“Everybody can make a mistake. I do not judge him for what he did and that error, which he has taken full responsibility for.”
