Kaka Unfazed By Real Madrid Interest

Kaka has shrugged off transfer speculation as his AC Milan side look to clinch the Club World Cup in Japan.

Speculation has been rife that Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon is to meet with AC Milan representative Adriano Galliani next Wednesday with a view towards making a move for the Brazilian.

The 25 year old told the Gazetta dello Sport his thoughts on the matter.

"Let it happen - it's not an issue that concerns me," he shrugged.

Of even less concern was a possible move for Ronaldinho, which he said the "club" would comment on, not him.

Indeed, Kaka, entering his fifth season with the rossoneri, was more apt to discuss his own team, not leat Ronaldo.

"He's gone through the toughest moments of this [injury crisis] already when he had knee problems two years ago," noted Ronaldo's countryman.

"I hope he'll come back soon and play a good series of matches.

"Not playing is not ideal for him as it makes him feel like he isn't a part of the team.

"That's why in this trip to Japan we talk a lot, because that way everyone is involved in the team.

"We don't know how long he'll be out for, but we've not given up hope of seeing him in this World competition, but when we do talk with him - which is often - it's not about injuries."

One topic of conversation is most likely the competition itself.

"For we South Americans, this is a very important trophy," Kaka noted earlier, "and my comrades and I will do everything we can to write our names on this trophy and in footballing history."

Milan will face either Iran's Sepahan or Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan in the next round, and Kaka is eager not to enter that game while treating the opposition as an unknown quantity.

"We'll watch the quarter finals between [the two sides] on Monday very closely in order to get a better idea of our opponents," he said.

"A rematch with Boca Juniors in the final? We're thinking solely and exclusively of the semi final at the moment.

"But that said, I don't like revenge. In 2003, Boca won, but that ended there - it's history. Now, we look forward."
