KAKA has given the green light to join Manchester City after the club increased their offer to a phenomenal £243million.

AC Milan last night confirmed they had received the mind-boggling bid which changes the face of world football.

KAKA ... at centre of mind-boggling bid

And we can reveal the Kaka camp gave their blessing for City to approach Milan SIX WEEKS ago when they first saw just how much was being offered.

Citys bid breaks down as follows:

 

£108 million for AC Milan.   £108million for the superstars wages including taxes. Kaka will be paid a NET salary of £13.28m a year which breaks down to £255,000 a week take-home.   £27m in commission to brokers, middle-men and signing-on fees. The Italian giants admitted on their official TV outlet the Milan Channel they had received the bid in a dramatic bulletin. And they even invited fans to express their views over whether the club should sell Kaka, confessing Milans board would take a couple of days to make a decision. Astonishing deal It all means the Brazilian playmakers sensational signing is practically in the bag. Milan Channel director Mauro Suma, regarded as the man who speaks for the clubs powerful vice-president Adriano Galliani, made the announcement yesterday evening. Crucially, no Milan officials would comment an admission they are ready to sell Kaka in the most astonishing deal in football history. But the club did offer fans the chance to take part in a Deal Or No Deal-style vote to decide whether Milan should let him go! City officials are due to fly to Italy on Monday for meetings with Kaka and his father Bosco Leite. And last night City boss Mark Hughes insisted the Brazilian is worth every penny. Hughes said: Make no mistake, this is no scattergun approach to world stars of football. Weve made a measured, calculated and, of course, football decision that works for us. Thats why were interested in a player of his quality because hes the type we need to drive the club forward. I have no idea whether he will end up here. It is dependent on too many factors. But it has moved forward at a pace this week. Sources close to the deeply-religious Kaka insist he will not be motivated purely by money and will take other factors into consideration. He will want to see how a move to Manchester will fit into his lifestyle and also find something that will challenge him. Sparky hopes he will be excited by the vision of helping City become one of the worlds top clubs. He said: Everybody knows were at the beginning of a long journey and if people want to join us theyll have a fantastic time in the coming years. Thats what we try to sell them if we get chance to speak to players. It is not something that will happen overnight and we have to let people understand what we are trying to do and understand where this club will go in the next few years. Once they understand that and recognise the people driving it forward they will become excited by what we can offer.
