AC Milan fans chanting outside his home begging Kaka to stay at their club finally went home late on Monday after their idol acknowledged them from his window for the second time.
Fans began their protest against Kaka's proposed 100 million euro transfer to mega-rich Manchester City outside Milan's headquarters during the early evening before heading off to the exclusive compound where the 26-year-old Brazilian lives.
They stayed there chanting songs about him and pleading with him not to leave until finally being satisfied the second time he waved at them.
Earlier in the day dozens of fans left letters with the caretaker at Kaka's gated compound, a former palace.
City's owners the Abu Dhabi Group have made the former World Player of the Year their primary transfer target during the January window and have reportedly tempted Milan with what would be a world record fee for a player.
Milan claim publically that they have not accepted City's bid, although the club's bosses have said they will not stand in his way if he chooses to leave.
The club's fans, however, have taken a completely different approach and are begging him to stay in Italy.
"Our letter was one page long in which we wrote from the heart to remind him what he represents for us and to ask him to stay here," said 20-year-old Niccolo, a Milan fan who was part of an early campaign outside Kaka's home.
Kaka's father and agent Bosco Leite arrived in Milan from Brazil in mid-morning with Italian news agency Ansa reporting that he joined his son at Kaka's home to discuss the deal.
Meanwhile, Ansa also reported that club president and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and club vice-president Adriano Galliani met for an hour and a half to discuss Kaka's possible departure.
