Kaka to join Manchester City next week: Report
Kaka is being pressured into leaving AC Milan for Manchester City.

New Delhi: Kaka is being pressured into leaving AC Milan for Manchester City, it is claimed - with the English Premier League side set to complete his transfer next week.

It is being reported in the English tabloid press that Kaka is now expected to join Manchester City next week - though more through pressure than preference.

Early editions of Saturday's Daily Mirror claim that Kaka has been "railroaded into accepting the £108 million move."

According to Mirror Sport, the AC Milan and Brazil playmaker bid an emotional farewell to club coach Carlo Ancelotti when he left training on Friday, and is unlikely to figure in the Rossoneri's Serie A clash with Fiorentina at the San Siro on Saturday night.

It remains to be seen how accurate this report is, but the paper, on its online version, says Kaka's love affair with the Milan club is over, adding that the blow will be softened by a £10m signing-on fee and a £15m-a-year salary.

It also says that Kaka’s father and chief adviser, Bosco Leite, will hold talks with City officials in Milan on Monday, but reports claims from the Middle East that Kaka has already agreed to the transfer with Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi-based owners.

Despite the astronomical amounts of money being offered, former World Player of the Year Kaka, 26, is said by Mirror Sport's sources to be unhappy about the move, feeling that he is being pressurised into leaving a team he helped win the Champions League in 2007 for one embroiled in a battle to avoid relegation. City's last major trophy was the 1976 League Cup.

Earlier this week Kaka revealed that he hoped to "grow old" with Milan, to whom he is contracted until 2013.
