Milan: Kaka not Real-bound despite meeting
MILAN, June 15 (Reuters) - AC Milan will not sell playmaker Kaka
despite saying they are aware that the Brazilian's father has held
a meeting with Real Madrid.
'We can confirm we will not sell Kaka but we knew about this
meeting because we were already informed of it by Kaka's father,'
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani told the club website.
Galliani said top Spanish clubs could afford to pay players more
than Italian sides could because of tax reasons and this was why
Kaka's father had held talks with Real.
'Kaka is certainly not for sale but this offer is born out of the
different fiscal constraints between Italy and Spain which give an
advantage to the top Spanish sides compared to the top Italian
clubs,' he said.
Kaka, widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, was
instrumental in leading Milan to their seventh European Cup triumph
last season.
