Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari believes Manchester City will sign AC Milan ace Kaka.

Scolari, who worked with Kaka during his time as coach of Brazil, offered no opinion on the size of the fee but insisted City would need more than money to convince him to sign.

"Manchester City have money. Kaka is one of the best in the world on the pitch and off it. He is a fantastic player and they have money to spend. How much is it normal to pay? I don't know. He is a fantastic player," Scolari said.

"I would not be surprised if he went to Manchester City. This is football. He is a professional player but maybe they offer to him not only money but an idea for the future. I know Kaka very well, money is not his problem."
