Corinthians director Duilio Monteiro Alves has cooled talk of moving for Real Madrid midfielder Kaka.

Monteiro Alves has brushed off the rumours.

"There is nothing, it's just speculation," Monteiro Alves told Gazeta Press.

"I don't know where that story came from, but it didn't start at Corinthians.

"He is an excellent player, no doubt about that, but we haven't even talked about him."
