MILAN - AC Milan chief executive Adriano
Galliani has met Manchester City officials to discuss the future
of Kaka, but the Brazilian said on Wednesday he was happy at the
Serie A club.
Galliani spoke with City on Tuesday but Milan did not say if
an offer was made for the playmaker or whether they would accept
any bid.
"Galliani received a delegation from Manchester City
yesterday in Milan as a gesture of courtesy like always in these
cases," AC Milan said in a statement on Wednesday.
"There are no talks at the moment."
Kaka told Sport Mediaset on Wednesday he was happy at the
San Siro.
"I want to grow old at Milan," he said. "My aim is to become
the captain of this team. I have already turned down some big
offers."
Media reports have said City, the richest club in the world
after being taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group, had bid
100 million euros ($132 million) for the 26-year-old, who won
the Ballon D'Or and FIFA world player of the year award in 2007.
City are also interested in Milan's reserve goalkeeper Dida,
the Serie A club said.
Milan fought off sustained interest from Real Madrid for
Kaka in the past while media reports said Chelsea have also been
eyeing him.
