BBC reported on 13 January 2009 that Manchester City made a bid for Kaká for over £ 100 million . Milan Director Umberto Gandini replied that Milan would only discuss the matter if Kaká and Manchester City agreed to personal terms . Kaká initially responded by telling reporters he wanted to " grow old " at Milan and dreamed of captaining the club one day , but later said , " If Milan want to sell me , I 'll sit down and talk . I can say that as long as the club do n't want to sell me , I 'll definitely stay . " On 19 January , Silvio Berlusconi announced that Manchester City had officially ended their bid after a discussion between the clubs , and that Kaká would remain with Milan . Milan supporters had protested outside the club headquarters earlier that evening , and later chanted outside Kaká 's home , where he saluted them by flashing his jersey outside a window . Kaká finished his final season with Milan by scoring 16 goals , helping Milan finish third in Serie A , and once again being elected as a finalist for the FIFA World Player of the Year Award , finishing fourth in voting for the second-straight year . He was also nominated for the Ballon d'Or award , finishing in sixth place , and was named in the UEFA Team of the Year for the third time in his career
