AC Milan's Kaka rejects move to Man City

Soccer Betting Lines

01/20/2009 - Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi is delighted by the news that Brazilian superstar Kaka has opted to stay put at the San Siro and reject a world record transfer to Manchester City.

Kaka had been given time to consider a $139 million switch to Eastlands, but has made his decision to reject the Citizens and remain in Milan.

"That's the end of the story. I'm truly delighted to have kept Kaka at Milan," an elated Berlusconi said. "Kaka is a great champion and a great man. He's refused the offer from Manchester City giving privilege to Milan, his companions and his fans.

"He said it's because money isn't everything in life. Kaka is staying with us and we're delighted. Money is important, but there are also other things that are important.

"The fans are delighted too. Turning down so much money is something to admire. We offered the player the chance to consider the offer and make himself a fortune, but he has higher values. He is staying with us.

"When I heard he would prefer to stay, that he didn't think he would be missing a great opportunity and he prefers the values of our flag, the values of closeness and friendship, the warmth and the affection that all the fans have shown him in these days, I said hooray and we hugged."
