The official announcement of Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid has been held up after Chelsea made a last-gasp bid for the Milan ace, according to Sky Italia.

The Spanish and Italian media are absolutely certain that Kaka will join Madrid in a €65 million deal, and just an hour or so ago Sky Italia claimed that the Brazilian had given his approval to the move.

An official announcement was then expected imminently, but this confirmation has reportedly been delayed after Chelsea lodged a last-gasp bid to try and sign Kaka themselves.

The 27-year-old is still expected to sign for Madrid, despite the presence of Kaka's old Milan mentor Carlo Ancelotti, who only took over as manager of Chelsea on Monday morning.
