Carnago, Italy—AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti hopes Kaka will stay at the team “for many more years,” but confirmed the club is considering the world record offer from Manchester City.
“I think there are dealings under way, and therefore it’s something the club is going to have to do together with the player,” Ancelotti said Friday. “My hope is to be able to coach Kaka for many more years, but we’ve got to be aware of the facts and the club’s evaluation of the offer presented.”
City’s offer for the 26-year-old midfielder, FIFA’s 2007 player of the year, is reportedly worth up to up to $157 million.
Kaka did not stop to speak with reporters at practice, only offering a brief wave. He said Wednesday he wants to “grow old” at Milan, but his spokesman, Diogo Kotscho, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the player will listen to City’s proposals.
A group of about 70 fans gathered outside Milan’s downtown offices Friday evening to protest against a move, shouting “Don’t sell Kaka! Don’t sell Kaka!” A firecracker thrown by the fans exploded near a garage a few minutes before Milan vice president Adriano Galliani exited, according to the ANSA news agency.
