AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed interest from Real Madrid for Kaka.

Ahead of their trip to Bologna, Ancelotti said: "The lead-up to this game is very different to the last, as the Kaka saga has ended in the best possible way.

"During this time Kaka maintained a very positive spirit and the resolution brought great enthusiasm. Ricky has always given the team a positive push and in this moment even more so.

"As for the rumours of a Real Madrid interest in Kaka, my feeling is that the matter is definitively closed."
