Ancelotti hopes Kakà will stay

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti tried to explain how he is feeling about Kakà deal. “My hope is to be able to coach him for many more years,” he told at his weekly news conference. “But we’ve got to be aware of the facts and the club’s evaluation of the offer presented.”

He added: “I think there are dealings under way and therefore it’s something the club is going to have to do together with the player.” Manchester City offered more than £100 million for the Brazilian star.

“Kakà is a key player for our team,” he was quoted. “But I’m fully convinced our goals won’t change with or without him.”
