Two of the most important sports papers in Italy agreed yesterday's editions with the same news: "The Milan is still interested in staying with Kaka." This is the Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport. Although the Madrid thinks that Milan, after having sold Thiago Silva and Ibrahimovic to PSG for 62 million euros, is becoming the lazy to raise in the coming days an offer for the Brazilian, the truth is that the entity rossonera is in a stage of financial restructuring that would make it very difficult to transfer.

"With the sale of Thiago Silva and Ibra we saved 150 million euros in two years," Berlusconi said to confirm the operation. Apparently there would be money to pay the nine million net salary charged Kaka. But this does not square with the cap of four million that Milan wants to establish in the template.

The Madrid City Council has approved, with the votes for the PP and IU, against and abstaining UPyD PSOE, the modification of the General Urban Plan, which will reform the environment at the Santiago Bernabeu in exchange for the creation green spaces in the district of Carabanchel.

The delegate of Planning, Paz González, has argued for the House that this is a good "city operation," which will promote economic recovery and contribute to rebalancing city, rising by almost 8,000 square meters in the ground for green areas and public facilities in the district of Carabanchel.

According to this amendment to the General Plan, will bring down what is known as the "corner of the Bernabéu," which will be green, will maintain the current parking (five hundred seats) and build another with a maximum capacity of 538 seats.

Also, delete the parking area (an esplanade at the stadium overlooking the Paseo de la Castellana) and build another underground public and between 250 and 300 cars, and build a shopping and leisure complex of 12,250 meters buildable square.

In return, Real Madrid will transfer to the City four plots in Carabanchel, in the neighborhood of Opañel, that the Consistory devoted to green areas (4330 meters square) and equipment (3,636 meters).

The first step has been the agent, Gaetano Paolillo, which has the Brazilian in Italy. This met yesterday at the offices of Italian club Adriano Galliani, Milan's general manager, and Ariedo Braida, CEO. They did not hide their intentions. "Yes, we talked about Kaka," confirmed his agent out of the summit.

Details of the conversation to which you have accessed this newspaper are based on an offer of 13 million euros and ask Kaka stoop to accept half the salary. There are more factors, not just economic, they should be given for the transfer becomes a reality and can delay it.

Nuri Sahin probably will play next season in the Premier League. The Turkish midfielder will leave on loan to an English side and is scheduled to return back to the discipline of Real Madrid at the end of season 2012/13.

Jose Mourinho wants to leave the Turkish one year on loan to enjoy a few minutes and Real Madrid wanted to include him in Operation Modric 'but not to the Tottenham players. The Arsenal is one of the clubs that were interested in the midfielder.

Nuri Sahin will play on loan next week in a big team in the Premier League. Real Madrid reached an agreement today with an English side to have minute midfielder next season and return in June 2013. Why not travel to Lisbon, where Real Madrid plays tonight at the Estadio da Luz against Benfica in game for the Eusebio Cup (20:00 Goal T).

Sahin have shown interest by several English clubs. The Tottenham wanted to be part of the operation Modric , but the Real Madrid at that time, refused to sign for the Londoners. Also Arsenal sought him weeks ago and is public knowledge that is very pleasing to Alex Ferguson, Manchester United .

Who will do is Kaka. The Brazilian, despite knowing that does not account for the technician and he is negotiating his departure, has been included in the list of 24 invited , including fourteen players from the quarry.

Adriano Galliani, Milan's chief executive, sent to Madrid to Ernesto Bronzetti intermediary to negotiate with Florentino Perez 's possible incorporation of Kaka to Italian side. The club sent the 'Rossoneri' part with the idea of obtaining the transfer of futolista can reserve with a purchase option.

The aims Milan Madrid pay the tab part of the ten million that has the player and the tax issue also seems problematic, but at Milan, he claims 'La Gazzetta', we glimpse a very subtle atmosphere of optimism .

In any case, the solution does not seem imminent. The proof is that Kaka traveled to Lisbon where Madrid played a friendly against Benfica tonight. Galliani said yesterday: "Kaka is at the heart of all. We will endeavor to bring him back to Milan, but not mislead anyone. It is an operation done and is very difficult. There are thousands of things that can make impossible. The problem is money. will have to be patient and wait, perhaps until the end of August. "

Madrid and Milan meet in a friendly in New York on 8 this month and possibly on the eve Galliani and Florentino Perez auctioned off the operation.
