The Brazilian international was a £100 million target for fellow cash-rich club Manchester City during the winter transfer window, only for the player to snub the Eastland outfit's advances.
However, with former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti now installed in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat, the likelihood of Kaka leaving the San Siro has increased.
