As the Milan players kicked off preseason training yesterday, Galliani declared: "Look, it would be strange if there wasn't interest in the player.

"He is a Milan player now and will continue being so for many years.

"This summer doubts were raised in the media, but we always knew the truth. Kaka is an unsaleable player, a wonderful symbol for AC Milan. He has never considered leaving us.

"The club has an excellent relationship with him."
