Father: 'Kaka will stay'

"I have not spoken to Real Madrid. I've not been in contact with (Real directors Franco) Baldini or (Predrag) Mijatovic," Leite stated on Channel 4's website.

"I've also not suggested that my son could be sold.

"If Real are interested in the player then they will have to turn to Milan. We have a contract with the Italian side, one which we only recently signed (until 2011)," he then added.

Kaka's father also dismissed Spanish media reports which claim that the 24-year old is keen on a transfer to the Spanish capital.

"The Spanish say that Ricky (Kaka's nickname) wants to leave? I don't think that is the case, not at the minute anyway. I think he will stay in Milan," he said.

The signing of Kaka was one of Calderon's electoral promises. The new Real boss would be willing to offer the player up to 10 million euros a season in a seven-year contract.

Chelsea are also chasing the player and have claimed to be ready to pay 100 million euros to convince Milan to let go of their best player.
