The transfer is rumored to be around €11 M. That sounds like €11 M too expensive to me. He has reached the phase where the mind is still willing but the legs aren't. Even if his salary is drastically cut, I'd rather have a fit, sort of plan C player like Montolivo.

I think he is still better than Seedorf

Ganso is not fast. Can we say he is Kaka without speed?

I think Kaka's precise passes are still there with his trademark longshoots.

Probably any of them would be an improvement on what we can offer in the role currently, but which of them would be better? Kaká, while clearly in decline, has big european experience, has Milan in his blood, but he is nearly 30 and injury prone. Also, he would come cheap, with probably high salary. Ganso, on the other hand, is still young, with the future ahead of him, he can be a long-term investment. Question marks come about his game beign fast enough for european football, and his rumored pricey release fee. His salary on the other hand would be significantly smaller than Kaká's. Not sure about Ganso's injury history though, I remember someone mentioning that he is injury-prone as well. The management is of course still in love with Kaká, but they regard Ganso highly too, with the Brazilian kid stating he is only interested in joining Milan.

It's a tough choice, I think I would lean towards taking a gamble with Ganso, but not for that price...

Yeah, the El Shaarawy-factor came into my mind too, but then I imagined a future Milan containing two midfield maestros (Shaarawy/Ganso)... One with explosive speed and dribbling skills, and one with great passing and vision. It wouldn't be bad, if both talents justify their reputation

About Ganso, to be honest I only watched a handful games of him (Libertadores final and Copa America), of which there seemed to be a consensus that those performances were NOT of his standard. Somebody here likened him to Riquelme and I can see the point in this comparison.

Kaka is more of a dribbler, a quick treq who moves WITH the ball. Ganso is more of a passer. If there's something quickly in him then I'd say it's his brain. While he didn't exactly impress me in CA matches, I acknowledged his ability of spotting tight spaces through with he can deliver a killer pass. I think most, if not all, of his assists were of this kind of passes, converted by Neymar. Considering the style of the strikers at our team (and we have every style available: the quick one, towering one, wasteful one ) I think he can improve our overall quality more than Kaka.
