Rossoneri rule out Kaka sale

AC Milan have responded to rumours linking Kaka with a move to Chelsea by insisting the Brazilian is not for sale.
Kaka's personal assistant, Diogo Kotscho, claimed the midfielder was likely to move to Stamford Bridge this summer, but the Rossoneri have moved quickly to quash the speculation.
A statement on the Italian club's official website read: "Regarding the comments, Milan director of communications Vittorio Mentana reiterates that Kaka is absolutely not for sale."
The Brazil international is under contract at the San Siro for another five years.
Earlier, Kotscho was quoted in the Guardian as saying: "Real Madrid offered 90 million euros (£71million) for Kaka last summer and Milan did not even think about the bid.
"This time is different. This is the first time we feel that a deal will definitely happen. Because of the situation Milan are in at the moment, the deal is good for all parties involved.
"The move would represent a significant increase in Kaka's salary, on top of the ten per cent transfer fee that goes straight to the player anyway - some 15 million euros (£12million).
"Chelsea are the club to be at right now. They are building a team to win everything."
