Brazilian playmaker Kaka was reportedly on his way to Chelsea from Real Madrid until a meniscus injury scuttled the transfer.
According to the Spanish Sport newspaper, Kaka, who underwent an operation to repair the cartilage in his knee this week, had been given the green light by Real Madrid to leave.
The paper says that negotiations were held in the “utmost secrecy” between Real Madrid and Chelsea. It claims that Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti spoke with Kaka ’s representatives, and that the player, who is said not be held in the highest regard by Bernabeu boss Jose Mourinho, had been persuaded by the Blues to move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea chief Roman Abramovich was said to have offered his Real counterpart Florentino Perez 67 million euros for the player, around the price the La Liga club paid AC Milan for his services last year.
But the apparent deal was wrecked when it was announced that the Brazilian would be out for at least four months injured.
