Manchester City have agreed to cease talks with AC Milan star Kaka.

After Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi came out and confirmed the Brazilian would be staying put in the Serie A, City executive chairman Garry Cook concurred on the club's official website.

"Whilst Manchester City Football Club has an obvious interest in world-class players of the quality of Kaka, we owe it to our fans that such a transfer must work on every level; commercially, financially, in terms of results on the field and within Manchester City's broader community," Cook said.
