Not content with buying half a team last summer and again in mid-season Real Madrid are gearing up for a new attempt to lure AC Milan's Brazilian midfielder Kaka to the Bernabeu.
Milan, whose chairman is former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and have just snapped up Ronaldo from Real, fended off persistent approaches from the Spaniards last year but now Madrid are ready to offer midfielders Robinho and Mahamadou Diarra, as well as Italian defender Fabio Cannavaro, for a deal, AS sports daily reported on Friday.
AS said discussions touched on Kaka last month as the Ronaldo deal came to fruition, while the paper added that the Italians may opt to try to sign Ronaldinho from Barcelona should Kaka leave.
Kaka, 24, has been with AC Milan since 2003 and the Italians want an estimated 60 million euros (75 million dollars) for his signature.
AS say Real, facing a fourth straight season wthout a trophy, are determined to build a new team in the summer around Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United's Portuguese winger.
