Kaka's alleged move to Real Madrid was well on the way of being wrapped earlier today as AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani publicly declared that the Brazilian is most likely to leave Italy, whereas president Silvio Berlusconi said that the move was up to the player himself.

After the two clubs agreed a fee of €65 million, conflict has now arisen between Real Madrid and Kaka's representatives, who are making astronomical demands.

According to British paper The Mirror, Kaka's agent and father, Bosco Leite, is supposedly asking for a personal commission of €11.5 million, a sum that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez thinks is much too high.

Leite is also demanding a signing-on-fee of an additional €11.5 million, plus a transfer and €1.5 million for Kaka's younger brother Digao. This would make Real Madrid pay a total €89.5 million, a sum that would break the bank as the highest transfer in history.

Real Madrid have been taken aback after receiving these outrageous demands, and are unlikely to accede to the terms of the deal. Should this be the case, then Kaka will remain at Milan, having already declared earlier this week that he wants to stay put at his current club.

Kaka is in Brazil with the national team preparing for a World Cup Qualifier against Uruguay, and has not been given permission to leave the country to sign any deals.

He has also refused to make any comments about his situation, but the Spanish press are adamant that Kaka indeed wants Madrid, declaring to his friends, "Everything is almost done. I know that I will be going to Madrid. I am very happy."

The final decision concerning Kaka's future is expected to be revealed on Monday.

Real Madrid's advisor to president Florentino Perez, former France international Zinedine Zidane, has claimed that AC Milan's Brazilian star Kaka has already penned a deal with the Primera Division giants.

However, the manner in which he did so was most unusual.

"Kaka has already signed for Madrid, no?" he said during a press conference in Rome, that was in honour of former Giallorossi defender Vincent Candela's farewell match, according to El Mundo Deportivo.

A number of sources over the past couple of days have been adamant that Kaka was on the verge of joining los Blancos, but Zidane looked as though he was about to become the first to confirm the deal.

"I will be happy if he takes my No. 5, I will not be jealous," he joked.

However, he seemed to track back a bit from his original claim as he continued to smile along with the gathered press, following up his statement with an addition to the journalists: "Well, you tell me!"

Milan fans have been protesting the move in front of the club's headquarters on via Turati and they will no doubt continue as they look set to lose their star player.

Kaka would be the first signing of the newly elected Florentino Perez, who has promised big signings as he wishes to restore the Merengues to former glories.

Kaka joined Milan in 2003 and was influential in the club's 2004 Scudetto and 2007 Champions League victories, also winning the Ballon d'Or during that period.
