Report: Kaka Signs For Manchester City, But...
According to a website in the Middle East, Manchester City have completed the signing of Milan superstar Kaka. But the article was quickly taken down.
Kaka has been linked with the richest club in the world for several months now, but the speculation of a possible move really began to heat up earlier this week.
"Arabian Business" claimed this morning on their website, arabianbusiness.com, that a deal had been sealed, which will see Manchester City pay Milan around
€112 million, while Kaka will earn
€380,000 per week.
Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour is said to have told friends at 1500 CET that Kaka has signed for Manchester City, although there has been no official confirmation from the club, or from Milan for that matter.
Mansour took over the reigns at Eastlands in September, but he funded the €37m signing of Kaka's Brazilian compatriot Robinho on August 31 summer deadline day.

However, within hours the report was removed from the website.
If true, the move would smash Zinedine Zidane's transfer fee record from 2001 when he moved to Real Madrid from Juventus for
€76m. Kaka also would become the highest paid player in football history.

The Press Association claims that sources within Manchester City have denied that a deal has been done, although no official statement has been made.
