Kaka predicts bright future for City

(GSM) – Former Manchester City target Kaka believes a top-four finish will herald a new era at the Eastlands.

Kaka turned down an lucrative City offer 18 months ago before opting to leave Milan for Real Madrid last summer.

Despite his rejection, the Brazil international can still see a huge future at City, who face Tottenham on Wednesday night in a match that will almost certainly decide which one of the two clubs claim the final Champions League spot next season.

Kaka admits that if the Sky Blues can beat the Spurs to fourth spot, then the possibilities are almost endless.

“The match between City and Spurs is so much more important than three points,” he told the Daily Express.

“If City win it they can start their journey to becoming a super club.

“I have said that you couldn’t buy history but if City start qualifying for the Champions League, they can start creating their own history. And with the resources they have, they can create a super team very quickly.

“In World Cup year players’ price-tags will always go rapidly up if they have a good tournament and City will probably be one of only a few teams in the world who will be able to afford the crazy prices.

“If they beat Tottenham and ultimately get Champions League football then we can expect some of the world’s best to move to them in the summer.”
