AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani says Chelsea have made an "astronomical" bid for Kaka. The Blues have long been linked with a move for 26-year-old World Player of the Year and their boss is now ex-Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari. Galliani told Italian newspaper La Stampa: "We received an astronomical offer from Chelsea for Kaka." Galliani did not say how much or when the offer was made for Kaka, who helped Milan win the Champions League in 2007. The AC Milan vice-president also revealed the club have had interest in 29=year-old Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo. Pirlo's agent has been reported as saying in the Italian press he want his client to be given the same wage as Kaka. But Galliani added: "For Pirlo, there have been many requests. But neither Pirlo nor his agent have come into my office and asked me for an improvent in salary." Galliani says selling Kaka and Pirlo would immediately atabilise Milan's finances, with the club having missed out on a palce in next season's Champions League. "All we would need to do in order to wipe out our debts is sell Kaka and Pirlo," he said. AC Milan technical director Leonardo told BBC Sport last month is was "impossible" for Chelsea to sign Kaka. Kaka himself revealed to BBS Sport in April he would not rule out the possibility of one day playing for one of the big clubs in the Premier League.
