Real Madrid are ready to offer £35 million for AC Milan midfield ace Kaka.

While he remains in talks with Juventus over Fabio Cannavaro, Gianluca Zambrotta and Emerson, Real sports chief Predrag Mijatovic will table a major bid for Kaka this week.
Kaka faces two seasons out of the Champions League because of AC Milan's Calciopoli punishment and those close to the Brazilian are indicating he is now considering his future.
Only days ago Real offered £20 million for Kaka, but the bid did not even bring a response from Milan. Mijatovic expects an answer from Milan officials this week when he tables an improved offer.
Kaka's Brazil teammate Julio Baptista told AS: "He's a good person. A player very focused and hard working. But never has he said to me that he wants to come to Madrid.
"He has always told me that he was very happy in Milan and that he wanted to renew his contract.
"Now I do not know if he has changed his opinion. But yes, sometimes he has asked me how things are at Real Madrid."
