Report: Kaka to Chelsea for world record fee

(CNN) -- Kaka is heading for Premier League Chelsea, according to a close advisor of the Brazilian international superstar.

The AC Milan playmaker would be re-united with his former national team manager Luiz Felipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge if a deal is brokered, with reports suggesting a world record fee of around $160,000 million.

Scolari handed Kaka his Brazil debut at the age of 20 and included him in the squad which won the 2002 World Cup.

The arrival of Ronaldinho at AC Milan from Barcelona this week may have also precipitated Kaka's departure from the San Siro, his personal assistant Dieogo Kotscho told The Guardian.

"Real Madrid offered 90 million euros ($142.6 million) last summer and Milan did not even think about the bid," Kotscho was quoted.

"This time is different. This is the first time we feel that a deal will definitely happen.

"Because of the situation Milan are in at the moment, the deal is good for all parties involved," he claimed.

But Serie A giants reacted sharply to the reports with a statement on Saturday.

"Regarding the comments, Milan director of communications Vittorio Mentana reiterates that Kaka is absolutely not for sale."

Chelsea have also been linked with Kaka's Brazil international teammate Robinho at Real Madrid as they step up their challenge to Manchester United who beat them to both the Premier League and Champions League last season.

"Chelsea are the club to be at right now. They are building a team to win everything," said Kotscho.

Kaka has only recently returned to Europe after having minor surgery on his knee in his native Brazil.

Any deal for the 26-year-old would shatter the current world record transfer of £91.94 million when Real Madrid signed Zinedine Zidane from Juventus in 2001.
