Libertyville, IL (AP).
Another scintillating performance by Ricardo Izecson dos Santos, affectionately known as Kaka by his supporters, has done nothing to quell the transfer rumors that have circled him this season. Arguably the best player in the game at this moment, he has been linked to Fighting Heitingas Football Club as well as other prestigious teams, namely Real Madrid and Manchester United. Kaka’s current club, AC Milan, has done its best to ward off pursuers but as the season has progressed, the rumors have gotten stronger and stronger
“I have told potential suitors time and time again Kaka is not on the market,” said gaffer Carlo Ancelotti. “He is still bound by contract with the club until 2011 and we have no intentions of letting him go before that time.”
Kaka has given the press contradicting responses to the press when asked about his future.
“Right now I’m focused on winning the Champions League with Milan,” the striker said after last night’s loss at the Theatre of Dreams. “It’s always an honor and humbling as a player to be linked to teams like FHFC, but I can’t be concerned with what will happen in the following months at this moment.”
FHFC has already brought in two world class players in Terry Mulligan and Tim Taylor for the upcoming campaign, but it has been no secret that Kaka is high on their transfer list.
“We love his pace, athleticism, and ability,” said manager Matt Partain. “Kaka is an incredible footballer and would be welcomed wherever he decides to go. Right now, he is doing very special things in Milan. There’s no doubt we are interested, but if Milan do not let him go, we have a quality team here regardless.”
Kaka earlier in the season had expressed his desire to play along side former Serie A player of the year, Tim Taylor. Rumors of a transfer have only been heightened with Taylor swapping sides from Lazio to FHFC this off season.
“I would love to play alongside Taylor,” said Kaka. “We have different styles and I feel we would mesh well together on the pitch and off it.”
Kaka and wife Caroline Celino have also been spotted spending time in Libertyville. They were photographed at Independence Grove Beach last week. When asked about what he was doing in Libertyville, Kaka responded, “I am here spending some time with my wife. We’ve also rented a paddleboat. We’re looking to get away from it all for a few days and be a normal couple.”
When asked if he was looking at moving to Libertyville, Kaka said, “Someday, hopefully, if I’m lucky enough. We love it here. It’s such a wonderful city and wonderful country.”
When coach Carlo Ancelotti was asked about the statements made by his talisman forward, he replied, “As far as I’m concerned, it’s all hearsay. Kaka is committed to this team and this organization. He is who we intended to build this team around and he is the heartbeat. Any chance of him going elsewhere is incorrect.”
The European transfer window opens in May.

Kaka is such a special player. I surely hope FHFC can sign him...and Beckham as well!
This team is such a tight knit group that has been playing football together for awhile. It would be a shame for a big name like this to come in and ruin the team chemistry.
That being said, Kaka is NOT that kind of player. He is the kind of player that can really put this team over the top. It would be simply sensational to see him come overseas to suit up in the gold and black (unless we are changing kits?). The fact that there is even a somewhat legit rumor that FHFC could be acquiring such a world-class player, as well as getting names like Mulligan and Taylor, it shows just how far along this team has gone.
Today I am just feeling very good about FHFC. Today I can stand up and say proudly "I AM AN FHFC SUPPORTER!"
I <3 Kaka.
He is my second fave only to lampardz.
If the FHFC could acquire this star I know I personally would purchase a Kaka kit online and sport it everywhere I went.
If Kaka is friends with Tim Taylor I don't see him causing any rifts in team morale or closeness. I see him pushing everyone to the limit and being a contributor to practices, matches, and off-field activities.
