Brazilian star Kaka explains how he almost joined Manchester City

- Kaka said he was on the verge of joining Man City.
- Man City agreed to pay AC Milan $100M for the Brazilian.
- Kaka eventually joined Real Madrid that summer.

Former Ac Milan and Real Madrid midfielder Kaka has revealed that he came very close to joining Manchester City from AC Milan in January 2009.
Man City who were yearning to recruit some of the world’s best footballers following their takeover by Sheikh Mansour targeted Kaka and had a £100 million bid accepted for him. However Orlando City midfielder, admitted that he had major concerns about the move because he wasn't sure it would be of benefit to him.

Kaka told Four Four Two:

“Negotiations went very far indeed. The only thing separating City and I was my final word." "It came to the point where all of the numbers and the finer details had been discussed. The wages I had been offered were much, much higher than what I was earning with Milan."

"I found myself wondering what my life playing in England would be like, what my routine at this new club would be, how difficult it would be for my kids and my wife to move home. All of these thoughts were swirling inside my head.".

Kaka eventually moved to Spanish giants Real Madrid in the summer of 2009, though it was not as great as his time at Ac Milan which saw him win the Ballon d'Or in 2007.
He made 120 appearances for the Los Blancos, winning one La Liga and the Copa del rey.

The Strange Obstacle Dave Bautista Had To Overcome Before He Was Cast In Blade Runner 2049

It's no secret that Hollywood has a tendency to dabble in ageism. After all, it's an industry obsessed with youth and beauty, and as a result actors often find themselves aging out of roles shockingly quickly. It's a problem that pretty much every performer faces at one point or another -- but what's kind of funny is that Dave Bautista had the complete opposite experience while going out for a part in Blade Runner 2049 . Rather than being too old for the role that he wanted, he was repeatedly told that he was actually too young, and really had to fight as a result. Bautista recently told me, "The funny thing is that when I first met with Denis [Villeneuve]... because I wasn't originally asked to audition, I was actually asked to fly out and meet with Denis. And so I did; I was filming Guardians 2 and I went out to meet with him. And we weren't very far in the conversation, like really not far in the conversation, when he said, 'I hate to tell you ...
