Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport today suggests that the mooted departure of Brazilian star Kaka for Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid could have a silver lining for Milan; the Rossoneri would recoup the required funds to sign Roma central defender Philippe Mexes and Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
According to the Spanish media, Real Madrid presidential candidate Florentino Perez is prepared to put €60 million on the Rossoneri’s table to prise Kaka away from San Siro. The Via Turati directors would immediately reinvest the money on two players that have long been on the club’s radar.
Mexes is tied to the Giallorossi until June 2011 and is valued at around €16m. With Paolo Maldini set to retire and Alessandro Nesta still hindered by injury problems, the Frenchman is seen as the ideal man to bolster the rearguard and would form a defensive partnership with Brazilian man Thiago Silva, who joined the club last January.
As for Arsenal ace Adebayor, he was already linked with a move to Milan last summer but the Rossoneri eventually plumped for Ronaldinho.
Milan are reportedly keen to offer the Togolese international a bigger wage packet, however, the Gunners are expected to hold out for at least €28m.
