AC Milan star Kaka could consider joining Manchester City, according to the player's agent.

Kaka has been a long-term target of Chelsea, while Manchester United and Real Madrid have also been credited with a desire to sign the Brazilian playmaker.

However, City's new found riches following the takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group have made the Eastlands outfit a major force in the transfer market and Kaka's representative, Diogo Kotscho, has hinted at an interest.

Kotscho has revealed that Kaka may be attracted by a move to the blue half of Manchester, but insists City would need to secure their short-term goal of UEFA Champions League qualification.

"Kaka would prefer a club like Chelsea, Real Madrid or Milan, but we never know," Kotscho told The Observer.

Prospect

"This season Manchester City do not have a team to win the Champions League. Maybe next season they can get into that competition - they have the prospects to be good enough.

"What they need to have is a big project to win the Premier League and the Champions League. It's not just about Kaka, they will only get the very best players if they attain this level.

"It was the same with Chelsea a few years ago - they had to prove themselves too.

"I think Manchester City are headed in the right direction, but they have big work to do.

"It's no easy thing to reach the same level as the biggest clubs in the world, and it's not just about money - you have to spend it properly and build a great team. In two or three years they can be there if they do the right things."
