AC Milan's Kaka insists he's staying at the San Siro

Speculation has been rife that Brazil star Kaka, who turned down a move to Manchester City in January, will follow his former coach Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea.

Kaka has also been linked with a move to Real Madrid following Florentino Perez's return as president but he claims he has no plans to leave the Rossoneri.

"I'll say it for the last time. The last time. I don't want to leave Milan," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"In this period I prefer to remain silent because I don't want to be misunderstood. Or, worse still, to be used.

"To the millions of Milan supporters, I say that I have made my choice. I have said what I want to stay.

"Leave me in peace, please."

Kaka was the subject of a big-money bid from City in January but the deal collapsed, with the player insisting he had no desire to leave Milan.

Since then he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and speculation increased still further as the return of Perez - who was in charge during the Spanish club's famous Galacticos era - grew ever more likely.

Reports suggest City could make a new bid for the 27-year-old, while former Milan coach Ancelotti would no doubt love to be reunited with Kaka following his appointment at Chelsea yesterday.
