Kaka wants to stay at AC Milan

Brazilian playmaker Kaka says he wants to stay at AC Milan despite speculation he might either follow coach Carlo Ancellotti to Chelsea or join Real Madrid.

“I’ll tell you this for the last time, the very last. I don’t want to leave Milan. To the millions of Milan fans, I tell you that I’ve made my choice. I’ve said I want to stay. Leave me in peace, please,” Kaka told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.

“I want to continue to win with Milan. And from today, all discussion is over.”

Manuel Pellegrini took over as coach of Real Madrid on Monday and will be under considerable pressure to achieve some early success for new president Florentino Perez.

The Chilean coach has vowed to build the “best club of the 21st century” and Kaka could figure in a big-money transfer, according to Spanish media.

But then there is also the draw of Roman Abramovich-backed Chelsea, who on Monday appointed former AC Milan handler Ancelotti as coach.

The pressure will be on Ancelotti to ensure the Blues are serious challengers for the Premier League title and in the Champions League, the final of which the Italian reached three times with AC Milan, winning twice.
