AC Milan ace Kaka insists the collapse of his move to Manchester City was due to the Premiership club.
City executive chairman Garry Cook has insisted the deal failed because the Italians and Kaka were "too greedy" and he accused them of being ignorant.
But according to media reports in Italy Kaka told his team mates at training: "There was a total confusion. Not one of them had a clear idea of what was going on. I have taken a weight off my mind."
Italian media also reported how the negotiations were "stop-start" after Cook and his party insisted on going into a side room during meetings to discuss aspects of the transfer between themselves.
Corriere Della Sera said that during the meeting between Kaka's agent father Bosco Leite and Adriano Galliani there was a disagreement with City over the Brazilian player's image rights.
Top selling sports daily Gazzetta Dello Sport also reported the fall out between City and AC Milan and splashed across its front page the headline: 'City so many errors.'
Kaka's agent Diogo Kotscho also hit back at City and said: "We can see that he (Cook) knows very little about how a football player's head works.
"If Kaka was thinking only about money then he would have chosen Manchester City but there are more important things that money just cannot buy.
"Now we are more convinced than ever that we made the correct decision."
Gazzetta's report only added deeper to the whole mystery surrounding Kaka's transfer.
It quoted an insider close to the negotiations as saying: "The truth is that in six hours of talks with Manchester City they only asked questions and didn't make an offer for Kaka.
"How on earth did they think they were going to buy him? It's one thing buying a property or a company but completely another when you are trying to charm one of the best players in the world."
