Real Madrid sending Sneijder, Robben to AC Milan for £70M Kaka
Real Madrid have seen off competition from Chelsea to strike terms for AC Milan star Kaka.
Spanish sources say Chelsea were interested in signing the former world player of the year, not least because he came so highly recommended by new manager Carlo Ancelotti. But by late on Tuesday night Chelsea knew that Kaka had informed his San Siro colleagues of his intention to move to Madrid.
As part of the deal, Dutch pair Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder move to Milan, which takes the total package to around £70m.
Kaka is with the Brazil team at their base in Teresopolis, near Rio de Janeiro, preparing for World Cup qualifiers in Uruguay on Saturday and at home against Paraguay on Wednesday.
He has shunned journalists since wearily telling reporters on Monday night that he was tired of being asked questions about Real Madrid. When a microphone was thrust in front of his face yesterday, he said: "This is not the day for talking."

In my view Robben should moved to AC Milan last year. Robben is very energetic player with great pace, dribbling and agility, but he cannot always play in high level otherwise he gets injured every time he been tackled. Therefore he could rest and gain high fitness and rest while Ronaldinho and Pato will replace him. Also theycould play at differnt formation with Robben such as 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. With 4-3-3 formation I think Ronaldinho will be on the bench where Pato probably will take right wing and Robben will take left wing or they could swap during the match. And Borriello would play as central forward ( front striker). Or Ac milan could play veru offensive football with 4-2-3-1 formation where all could play (Pato, Robben, Ronaldingo). In my point of view it would cause a lot of troubles to the difference.

Pato and Robben will be on wings and Ronie could take free role as he likes it and play as second striker behind the Borriello. So Ac Milan missed huge opportunity to sign Robben. AC MILAN BUY ROBBEN !!!!!
Think it's a bad idea to get rid of Robben and Sneijder ... for one Robben has been performing consistently -> it didn't matter that the team changed, he still scored and did his thing .. the mark of a class player.
Sneijder is full of potential and him being sold will mean that he will shine at AC milan ... my opinion, real madrid will regret getting rid of these two ..
