The Milan and Italian President Silvio Berlusconi said that bringing Shevchenko back did not involve Kaka in any way. In fact, he goes on to saying the same line he is been saying for the past seasons, Kaka is not for sell.
There were rumors the sticking point in the Sheva transfer was only overcome when an option on £100m Real Madrid and Manchester City transfer target Kaka was included.
“I absolutely did not promise Kaka to the Blues or indeed anyone else. That is just not going to happen,” the patron told Telelombardia.
“I know some weren’t too happy about Sheva’s return, but he is a great player and I am convinced the fans will be very pleased to have him back in the Rossoneri jersey.”
Kaka is expected back this week in a friendly test so he can make his seasonal debut in Serie A against Genoa.
The return to fitness is important for the team, who lost the opener 2-1 on home turf against Bologna.
“Milan entertained us, though,” grinned Berlusconi, who is also Prime Minister of Italy.
“In football you need luck and we didn’t have that. Ronaldinho made sure everyone left the stadium happy, though. I have to say it was a great show of professionalism that we brought him to the club.
“During the months of the election campaign I heard three things constantly from the people. The first was ‘Send Prime Minister Romano Prodi home,’ the second ‘Save us from the Communists’ and the third ‘Buy us Ronaldinho.’ I did all three.”
Berlusconi also shrugged off reports that he is planning to build a new stadium in Milan.
“I know nothing about it. I am very fond of San Siro, as it is built for football and you can enjoy the spectacle like few others in the world. It has no athletics track and you are very close to the action, so I love the place deeply.”
