Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has revealed he will follow the rulebook regarding major transfers at the club by leaving the decision to Kaka. Berlusconi has compared the possible Real Madrid switch with Andriy Shevchenko's move to Chelsea in 2006.

The Brazilian has been edging closer to Real Madrid and new details that have emerged in the Spanish press overnight have claimed Kaka told Brazilian team-mates that he will be happy joining los Merengues.

Despite reports claiming a deal is as good as done, Berlusconi has taken the cautious approach, revealing he has not made a decision to sell as he awaits a Monday meeting with Kaka and vice president Adriano Galliani.

The Rossoneri chief admits the money on offer will make it difficult to keep Kaka, but that does not mean he is certain to leave.

"There is a system at Milan, which has been applied on other occasions, like Shevchenko," Berlusconi told Canale Italia on Thursday morning.

"There is absolutely no decision in place and I have told Kaka and Galliani not to assume a decision is in place until I have dinner with them on Monday.

"When someone offered Shevchenko all the money we told him he was free to do what he wanted, it will be the same with Kaka."

Berlusconi also talked of Carlo Ancelotti's exit, claiming the coach didn't follow his policies on how football should be played at Milan.

"Milan have lost this season because in certain games the tactics which I had advised were not implemented," added Berlusconi.

"Many players like Ronaldinho were unable to express themselves."
