However AC Milan want to sign the midfielder immediately as they prepare for reinforcements having sold Kevin-Prince Boateng to Schalke yesterday.<br />

&ldquo;Kaka is a very difficult deal and at the moment we&rsquo;re negotiating with CSKA to try to get Honda straight away,&rdquo; Milan&rsquo;s vice-president Adriano Galliano said.&nbsp;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s more likely to be Honda than Kaka, and signing one excludes signing the other.&rdquo;
