Milan declare war on Madrid

Milan say that Brazilian playmaker Kaka will never be sold to Real Madrid.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has declared war on Real Madrid over the tactics used to try to lure Kaka to Spain.

The young Brazilian playmaker has been the subject of much speculation this summer with the Liga giants at the centre of the storm.

Ramon Calderon claimed to have agreed a personal deal with the World Cup ace in the run up to his election as club president on July 3.

Galliani has now come out to slam Calderon and director of sports Predrag Mijatovic and has stepped up the rivalry between the footballing giants to epic proportions.

"For 50 years Real has been the greatest club in the world but now they have thrown all that out of the window," Galliani told Marca.

"This Real does nothing to honour its history or its name."

Kaka extended his contract at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in June until 2011, and the Serie A side are raging against Real's new management.

"Milan declares war on Real - you can write it like that - and it will do everything it can to make their life impossible," Galliani added.

"Kaka is not going to leave here, but if he did it would not be to Real. No one from this club will sit down and negotiate with them because what they are doing is not how great clubs work together.

"I want to clarify that these remarks are against the current Real and not the club that we all know and love."

The Italians have meanwhile, been boosted by the reduction in their sentence from the country's match-fixing scandal.

They will now be allowed to take part in next season's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and start the coming campaign with only an eight point deficit in the league.
