Perhaps. His "I belong to Milan" schtick could be a thinly-veiled ploy for another contract reworking. The club is not forcing him out.
If he leaves, he'll look like a hypocrite (considering his actions right after Man City died down), which won't fit with his boy-next-door image.

Too bad Galliani has come out and said they have no choice but to sell Kaka in order to make up for the huge debt, so I highly doubt its Ricky who is forcing himself out of the club.

Pirlo for Drogba?
Carlo Ancelotti left Milan to become the head coach of Chelsea just days ago, and immediately three of his former stars from the Serie A have been linked with a move to the English Premier League.
The first was Kaka, a man who has been forever linked with a move away from the Rossoneri, but this time around he does look set to leave the Italian peninsula, as Real Madrid’s €65 million offer looks too good to refuse.
The other two Milan players are Alexandre Pato and Andrea Pirlo, both of whom have had offers made by the London-based outfit over the past few days.
According to the latest reports from 24oredisport.com, Ancelotti has called on the owner of his new club, Roman Abramovich, to do everything he can to get Pirlo to the Blues.
The Italian manager believes that the World Cup-winning midfielder would fit perfectly into his plans for the future; however, the reports go on to suggest that the Rossoneri would only be willing to discuss a deal for their star if Chelsea agree to offload Didier Drogba in return.
The Ivorian hitman is close to extending his contract with the FA Cup champions; however, if they do wish to acquire Pirlo, then they may have to reconsider their decision.
I would be very angry if this were to go through. A worldclass play maker for this overrated piece of s***

Galliani: We have to sell Kaka
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani admits he was in Spain earlier this week and did speak with Real Madrid about Kaka.
Speculation went into overdrive yesterday after Galliani was spotted in Madrid along with Kaka's father Bosco Leite.
A world record transfer worth £68.5m is said to be in the offing, but it's up to the player to decide whether he goes or not.
“Florentino Perez invited me to celebrate his nomination,” Galliani told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “We had lunch and spoke about Kaka. I don't deny it. Negotiations exist, but a deal has yet to be done.
“We all have a heart, but the numbers have become such that even those with a big heart have to face up to themselves and do the accounts.
“Kaka has behaved well with us, he has never asked for any adjustments or contract extensions. He has been here six years winning all that there is to win.
“But we cannot allow ourselves to lose £70m,” Galliani explained. “The reasons behind Kaka's departure would be economic.
“Real turnover almost double what we do, they own the Santiago Bernabéu and don't share their TV revenue with other teams.
“They are helped by a fiscal regime that allows them to offer players bigger contracts, spending the same net figure. Two million becomes one million in the pockets of a player in Italy. It's a million and a half in Spain.
“I don't want to be boring, but the root of the problem is economic,” Galliani said. “Italy have lost competitiveness and Serie A has to fight so as to ensure it is not overtaken by other championships, after having lost ground with respect to Spain and England.”
When asked if he had calculated the damage to Milan's image that would come with selling Kaka, Galliani said: “Everything that comes to be done at Milan is pondered over.
“I hope that the fans understand the situation. The Milan of Berlusconi has lived through four great cycles: that of Sacchi, that of Capello, the interregnum of Tabarez-Zaccheroni-Terim and the period of Ancelotti.
“We are starting again with a fifth cycle. There are negotiations for Kaka, but the other big players are unsellable. They are Pato, Pirlo and Seedorf.”
Galliani was then asked to explain why Berlusconi doesn't sell the club if he no longer feels he can help it economically.
“Berlusconi doesn't want to sell, but there has never been interest in a major stake. There has been interest in a minor stake, but a deal was never opened.”
On being asked to describe what Milan fans can expect next season, Galliani said: “A Milan ready to begin again. They have said we were finished many times before and we started to win again.”

Milan To Replace Kaka With Napoli Ace Ezequiel Lavezzi – Report
Milan are targeting Napoli ace Ezequiel Lavezzi as a direct replacement for Kaka should the Brazilian join Real Madrid, according to Sportmediaset.it.
Vice president Adriano Galliani claimed earlier in an interview with La Gazzetta Dello Sport that the club would buy a big striker following Kaka's probable sale, and this has led to the widespread belief that 'El Pocho' will be dragged in.
The report suggests Lavezzi has fallen out with the Azzurri following his recent dash to Argentina, where he claimed he felt a lack of respect from the club.
With Napoli's hold on Lavezzi looking vulnerable, Milan are ready to pounce. In addition, Silvio Berlusconi enjoys a good relationship with Aurelio De Laurentiis, and this could prove pivotal in swinging the deal in the Rossoneri's favour.
However, despite Italian reports claiming Milan are buzzing around the player, suggestions in England claim Liverpool are also keen on the Argentine and even had a €22 million bid rejected.
Despite Napoli's claims that the player is not for sale, voices imply a deal around €25m would suffice. Napoli coach Roberto Donadoni is keen on Marco Borriello, and he could be worked into the deal for Lavezzi.
But, before any move can happen, Kaka has to join Real Madrid. Although the Rossoneri have confirmed a deal with Real is in full swing, the decision to stay or go remains with the Brazilian.
wonderful, it just keeps getting better.

Lista Milan: Toni e Dzeko oltre ad Amauri
I soldi di Kakà sistemeranno il bilancio. Kjaer per la difesa. Nel mirino anche un centrocampista
dE’ il 19 gennaio 2009, mica un secolo fa, quando Silvio Berlusconi dichiara: «Kakà è incedibile e resta al Milan». Meno di sei mesi e tutto cambia: il brasiliano va a Madrid, nella cassaforte rossonera entrano 68,5 milioni di euro e dei discorsi invernali restano le bugie. Finisce un’epoca, poche storie. Per aprirne un’altra servono investimenti e idee. I tifosi sono inviperiti: non si fidano più, temono che la cessione di Kakà sia il simbolo del disimpegno da parte di Berlusconi e della sua famiglia, e non vedono un progetto importante sul quale poggiare le speranze. Anche perché quale progetto può nascere dalla cessione del giocatore più rappresentativo? manifestato l’intenzione di entrare? Scenario da non escludere. Tifosi Restano da soddisfare le esigenze dei tifosi, che non sono poche. Berlusconi e Galliani ripetono da tempo che il differente regime fiscale tra l’Italia e gli altri paesi (tipo Spagna, ad esempio) non consente ai club di casa nostra di trattenere i grandi campioni. I tifosi rossoneri, tuttavia, ricordano spesso a Berlusconi e Galliani che l’Inter, sottoposta allo stesso regime fiscale del Milan, vince da quattro anni lo scudetto. Come mai? Perché Moratti spende e Berlusconi no. Sul mercato, quest’anno, si cercherà di usare soprattutto la fantasia. Senza Kakà, e con Pato richiesto dal Chelsea, vanno fatti investimenti in attacco: i nomi che circolano sono quelli di Toni (32 anni del Bayern Monaco, 8 milioni il cartellino), di Amauri (30 milioni), di Juan Albin (23 anni, uruguaiano del Getafe, 20 milioni di clausola rescissoria). Galliani esclude di puntare su Amauri, Adebayor ed Eto’o. C’è l’ipotesi Dzeko del Wolfsburg (15 milioni). Di certo, uno il Milan lo prenderà: ma non sarà un grande nome, altrimenti che senso avrebbe avuto cedere Kakà? Hoeness del Bayern dice: «Non manderemo via nessuno, ma se qualcuno viene da noi e vuole uno dei nostri attaccanti, allora ne parleremo». Manovre Altri innesti, nel nuovo Milan di Leonardo, andrebbero fatti in difesa e a centrocampo. Servono un centrale e un terzino. Si discute di Kjaer del Palermo (8 milioni) e di Agger del Liverpool (7 milioni). Molto più difficile arrivare a Juan o Mexes della Roma. Per il centrocampo si guarda al brasiliano Hernanes.

" Less than six months and everything changes: the Brazilian went to Madrid, in the safe rossonera enter 68.5 million and speeches winter still lies. Ends an era, a few stories. Need to open another investment and ideas. The fans are inviperiti: do not trust most, fearing that the sale of Kakà is the symbol of disengagement on the part of Berlusconi and his family, and do not see an important project on which rest the hopes. Also because the project which may arise from the disposal of the player most representative? indicated its intention to enter? Scenario does not exclude. Supporters remain to meet the needs of fans, which are not few. Berlusconi and Galliani repeated for some time that the different tax treatment between Italy and other countries (like Spain, for example) does not allow clubs to our house to retain the great champions. I rossoneri supporters, however, remind us often to Berlusconi and Galliani that Inter, subject to the same taxation of Milan, he won four years from the championship. Why? Why Moratti e Berlusconi spends no. On the market this year will try to use mainly the fantasy. Without Kakà, Pato, and requested by Chelsea, investments are made on the attack: the names circulating are those of Toni (32 years of Bayern Monaco, 8 million card) to Amauri (30 million), Juan Albin (23 years , the Uruguayan Getafe, 20 million clause rescissoria). Galliani rules out betting on Amauri, Adebayor and Eto'o. There is the possibility of Dzeko Wolfsburg (15 million). Certainly, an AC Milan take it but will not be a great name, otherwise what sense would divest Kakà? Hoeness of Bayern says: "Do not send away anyone, but if someone comes to us and wants one of our attackers, then they will talk." Other maneuvers grafts in the new Milan by Leonardo, would be made in defense and midfield. We need a center and a quarterback. It talks of the Palermo Kjaer (8 million) and Agger of Liverpool (7 million). Much more difficult to reach or Juan Mexes of Roma. For the midfield is looking to the Brazilian Hernanes.

Report: Milan To Move For Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor
According to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, Serie A giants Milan will make an offer for Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor at some point this week.
Il Diavolo have focussed their attentions on the former Metz and Monaco star after learning that their initial target, Didier Drogba, would be offered a new three-year contract by Chelsea.
Apparently, the Rossoneri are set to tempt the Gunners into selling the 25-year-old by bidding €17.3 million (£15m) in exchange for his services.
Their valuation of the Togo international is a far cry from last summer when, it is claimed, they had an offer €28.8m (£25m) rejected by the north London outfit.
The 6ft 3in striker's stock rose after he scored 30 goals in the 2007-08 season, but he failed to reach those heights during the 2008-09 campaign, finding the back of the net on just 16 occasions.
It is thought that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is willing to let Adebayor leave the Emirates Stadium this summer as he looks to raise the funds required to build a squad capable of challenging for top honours having endured a four-year spell without attaining any silverware.
Now we'll be linked with every attacker on earth.

Andriy Shevchenko Unhappy At Prospect Of Chelsea Return - Report
Andriy Shevchenko's one-year loan spell at former club AC Milan is nearing its conclusion and it appears likely that the Ukrainian international, once considered as one of the most deadliest hitmen around, will return to Chelsea. Yet this would not please the 32-year-old.
"He’s due back at Chelsea," a spokesman claimed to the Daily Star. "He has been told they want to see what happens up until Christmas."
The spokesperson concluded by remarking, "He’s not optimistic, considering the amount of playing time he was given at Milan."
Shevchenko, despite his former idol status at San Siro, has featured only intermittently in the past campaign, when Carlo Ancelotti was at the helm.
Ancelotti has since departed, though. But, in a cruel twist of fate for Shevchenko, the Italian is now manager at Chelsea; Andriy's parent club.
Shevchenko scored just two goals in 26 appearances in all competitions this season.
I feel bad for him, maybe he should stay. Ofcourse for much much less than 150k a year.

When Kaka Goes, Milan Do Not Need Any Other Players - Berlusconi
Berlusconi believes that the Rossoneri are already strong enough as they are, even with the departure of their star player Kaka.
Milan president Silvio Berlusconi is set to anger the fans further with the latest declarations that he is happy with the current Milan squad.
Berlusconi is not even pondering to sign any new player, especially in the fragile defence, despite the retirement of Paolo Maldini.
However, the Italian prime minister tried to reassure the supporters that they have nothing to worry about as Milan will be as strong as ever next season.
"I like Milan as it is," declared the Milan president to Sky Sport 24. "I think that with the great number of champions we can put on the pitch, we don't need anyone else.
"The Milan fans can sleep comfortably: we will give Leonardo a squad full of great champions, where we don't need any new players in the defensive department. We count on the return of [Kakha] Kaladze and [Alessandro] Nesta."
The 200 Milan fans protesting in Via Turati will most likely not agree with Berlusconi and, on the contrary, be even more enraged with these latest comments that the Rossoneri do not need any new players following the probable departure of Kaka.

Simon Kjaer Could Leave Palermo For Milan - Agent

However, there is a clause in his contract which would allow him to leave the club prior to its expiration in 2013, and which could see him join another club this summer.

"However, there's nothing with Milan. I think that next year he will remain at Palermo. Milan is a very interesting destination, but Kjaer has already a contract with Palermo.
"That clause is also valid in Italy, not just abroad. Still, I believe that next year he will play at Palermo, but we'll see.
"With this €12m clause, if there's a club who offers this amount he could leave, but right now there's nothing."
The 20-year-old player had an impressive debut season in Serie A, playing 27 league games for Palermo and scoring three goals.
World class Cb please, not school kid CB. We already have Thiago Silva.

AC Milan And Valencia Are Interested In Juan Albin - Agent
Juan Albin's agent has revealed that Valencia are interested in signing the Getafe midfielder, along with a host of other clubs around Europe.
The Uruguayan was linked with a move to AC Milan yesterday and Daniel Fonseca told Onda Cero that his client is in high demand.
"Valencia are interested in Juan, as are three or four other teams around Europe. We are going to see who shows the most interest," he mused.
"In Spain there are two more teams. Hence we will see how much or how little happens."
With regards to a possible offer from Milan, Fonseca acknowledged that they are interested.
"Milan want him, they are one of the clubs who have looked at him. We will see what happens though, not only with Milan, but there are three or four clubs and whoever is most interested will get a deal."
The agent divulged more about a possible agreement with Milan too, stating that rather than paying the €20 million release clause, the Italian side could trade two youngsters; Matias Cardaccio and Tabare Viudez.
"There are two kids who have not played much. In a team like Milan there are many superstars. One of the clubs that could be interested in giving these kids experience is Getafe. We will see what happens in the next few days," he explained.
Finally, Fonseca spoke about interest from Greece last summer, revealing there was one offer, but that they turned it down.
"We did not consider it. I always look at the sporting side, never the financial, that comes later. I did not think Greece was an ideal place for Juan and his footballing progress," he concluded.

This is where i tell you you are wrong and he actually is IMO in the top 5 CBs in Serie A and would MUCH prefer him to an overrated-ADD-suffering mexes. Kjaer is pretty beast and lets leave it at that, we can do ALOT worst then Thiago silva/kjaer with nesta as 3rd

True but he hasn't played a match yet. He has played friendlies. Its a little to early to judge my maple leaf bro

.
We'll see how he does. I was hoping maybe someone like Lucio for the CB. Now that we have alot of money to spend though, we'll see who we sign.

Silvio Berlusconi: Milan Will Not Ask Napoli For Lavezzi
Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has denied the reports coming from the Italian media that his club will sign Napoli forward Ezequiel Lavezzi to replace the departing Kaka, who is on his way to Real Madrid.
Berlusconi believes that Lavezzi's role is adequately covered at Milan and that there is no need to buy such a player, considering the attacking talents already on display at San Siro.
"If we are interested in Lavezzi? Absolutely not," affirmed the president to Sky Sport.
"Lavezzi is a forward and in that role we are covered. We already have a world-class player like [Alexandre] Pato."
Lavezzi has also been linked to Juventus and Liverpool over the past few weeks and his behaviour might push Napoli to sell, as there have been no peace signs between him and the Azzurri's general director, Pier Paolo Marino.

Arsenal To Fight Milan For Barcelona's Yaya Toure – Report
The Gunners are readying an offer of €13.5 million for the Ivory Coast international midfielder...
According to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, Arsenal are set to go head-to-head with Italian giants Milan in a bidding war for Barcelona's Yaya Toure.
Apparently, Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is ready to spend €13.5 million (£12m) of his summer transfer kitty on the 26-year-old, although he realises that he may have to increase the offer depending on the Rossoneri's actions.
The Ivory Coast international had an unsuccessful trial with the north London club in 2005, but could be on his way there this summer.
Although primarily a defensive midfielder, the 6ft 3in star can also play in the heart of defence and could therefore partner older brother Kolo should he arrive at the Emirates Stadium.
"It’s true that it would be great to play for a big club with my brother. That would be fantastic but you never know," Yaya has been quoted as saying.
Since joining la Blaugrana from Monaco in 2007, Toure has scored three goals in 51 Primera Division appearances.
