AC Milan have ended their interest in bringing midfielder Kaka back to the San Siro after Real Madrid insisted on seeking a transfer fee for the Brazilian.
The Rossoneri had been hopeful that Los Blancos would release Kaka in order for him to join his former club.
But paying a fee for Kaka, in addition to affording his wages, puts the creative midfielder beyond reach for a Milan side where money is tight.
"The operation [to sign] Kaka is over", said Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani.
"It’s finished", he added.
"The operation is too risky."
It remains to be seen whether Milan will land a big name before the transfer window closes on Friday, to appease fans still disappointed at the sales of Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
