Big-spending English Premier League club Manchester City have reportedly offered £100 million ($218 million) to sign Brazilian superstar Kaka from AC Milan.
According to reports in several British papers and in Italy, City officials spent Tuesday in Milan talking to the Serie A club over a possible signing.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, a media tycoon who also owns AC Milan, said that he hoped Kaka, the star player in the side, would remain a Milan player.
"I hope he's irreplaceable, and I hope he will stay with us," Berlusconi said. "I know nothing about this offer."
Mediaset, the website of Berlusconi's media group, confirmed that a delegation led by City chief executive Garry Cook had met Milan officials on Tuesday.
"Manchester City want Kaka at all costs, and they have shown their cards," a report on the website said.
The report claims that City would offer Kaka €15 million ($23 million) a season, after tax, if he moves to the English club.
