Manchester United have held talks with Brazil and AC Milan star Kaka over a sensational summer move to Old Trafford.
According to reports in The Sun newspaper, the Premier League giants have already met with Kaka's representatives in a bid to thrash out personal terms which would net the talented playmaker some 35million pounds in wages alone.
"It was a very positive meeting, although nothing was agreed," a source close to Kaka told the paper.
"The player wants a five-year contract and wages of £135,000 a week.
"He is very keen to join United and these are figures that are within United's pay structure. It's up to them what happens now."
With AC Milan expected to demand a transfer fee in the region of 70million pounds for Kaka, there is, however, some confusion as to where United would get the necessary money from.
One solution would be the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, something that, according to former Real president Ramon Calderon, is as good as a done deal.
Kaka, who was the subject of an audacious mega-money approach by Manchester City during January's transfer window, has made no secret of his admiration for United and said recently: "They have some great players in Giggs and Scholes and especially Wayne Rooney.
"One of my best friends, Anderson, is also there - how can anyone say no?
"They are the English and European champions and a great club to play for."
The Brasilia-born former Sao Paulo ace has also revealed his desire to one day play in the Barclays Premier League - a league he views as being one of the world's most competitive.
"I like the Premier League a lot, so maybe that would be my choice if I leave Milan," the 27-year-old told the Daily Star newspaper.
"Whenever I can, I try to swap experiences with my friends playing in other countries and leagues.
"All the players that I've talked to that play in the Premier League, or used to play there, say it's a tough league - tough, very fast and competitive."
