With Lisbon Athletics restocking their supermarket,
the big clubs began to get anxious.
Deng Kai, C. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Kaka, the players with the most impressive stats, had already seen one of them bought.
If they didn't make a move soon, it would be over.
AC Milan was the first to contact Deng Kai, hoping he would join them.
It wasn't the first time they had reached out to Deng Kai.
But Deng Kai turned down AC Milan's offer and recommended Kaka to them instead.
After carefully observing Kaka, AC Milan also decided to make a bid.
Their offer was twelve million euros.
The ideal selling price was fifteen million euros.
Despite Kaka's outstanding stats, the mainstream view was that he was relatively mediocre, lacking the agility and talent of a Brazilian player.
At the World Cup that year, Ronaldinho had soared while Kaka barely even played, which corroborated this view.
At the same time, Lazio also made a bid for Kaka, and their price was close to that of AC Milan.
