Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed he wants to sign Kaka, but conceeded there is little prospect of that happening because Real Madrid will not sell.
"Kaka would do well for my cause and I have spoken with him on a regular basis," he told Il Giornale.
"But unfortunately he cannot come: firstly Real Madrid don't want to sell him, and secondly we would need a consent over the transfer, and thirdly it would be a multi-million operation. None of these conditions exist."
Reports claimed Zlatan Ibrahimovic had come into view after Ancelotti extended his transfer scope from Madrid to Barcelona.
Kaka & Ibrahimovic Staying Put
But the coach kicked that idea into the long grass, insisting there is no plan to sign 'Ibra'. Ancelotti prefers to stick with Didier Drogba as he whips his team into line.
"If you have someone like Drogba who scores 37 goals then why should I look for another [striker]?," Ancelotti said.
Clubs in England have been moving cautiously on the transfer market with many finding themselves at the sharp end of cuts.
But one club Ancelotti feels will welcome big spending is Manchester City as they continue to pull in the stars.
"They spend plenty and Roberto Mancini is equipping a great squad. Wait and see, they will also sign [Aleksandar] Kolarov and [Edin] Dzeko," he said.
