Carlo Ancelotti wants Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to raid AC Milan for several of his stars - including Andrea Pirlo and Kaka. Chelsea remain confident that Carlo Ancelotti will become their new manager and are already discussing their summer transfer plans with the Italian, who has signed a pre-contract agreement on a three-year deal to take over at Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, says the Telegraph.
A source close to Ancelotti says the agreement with Chelsea is a "done deal" and that the coach would leave Milan after eight years in charge.
Pirlo, who is 30 next week and has two years left on his contract, has attracted interest from Chelsea in the past and has been key to Ancelotti's plans at Milan, where he has evolved into the club's play-maker. The Italy international has indicated in the past that he does not want to leave Milan but could be tempted this time.
Chelsea have pursued Kaka previously, only for Milan to resist, but it became clear in Manchester City's negotiations to sign the Brazilian in January that the Italians were willing to do business. The likelihood is that Kaka will move to Real Madrid but Chelsea may join the bidding, even if they would prefer not to get into an auction involving Real and, possibly, City.
