Milan accuse Spanish Press

Milan have accused Spanish newspaper AS of faking a photograph of Kaka to prove that the player is keen on moving to Real Madrid.

Wednesday’s online edition showed a photograph of the Brazilian posing with the paper running the headline “Campeones de Liga”, referring to the Merengues’ Liga triumph.

“We have found on your online edition a reproduction of a picture showing our player Kaka with your paper, presumably an issue printed after June 18, 2007,” read a letter sent to AS by the Rossoneri outfit.

“However, the image is the result of a clear photomontage because that picture was taken at the Milanello training centre in mid-April.

“Consequently, Kaka could not pose with a newspaper that would only have been printed two months later,” continued the letter.

“The photomontage is not innocent, but part of the continuous harassment which Real Madrid have been perpetrating for over a year to damage Milan in relation to the player.

“The alteration of the photograph, which otherwise is completely neutral, seems to be a part of this manoeuvre,” accused the note.

“It is meant to wrongly convince the readers that Kaka can’t wait to move to Real Madrid and this is not the truth, as not only the player but Milan have repeatedly reiterated.”

Los Blancos have been chasing the player since last summer, when the Rossoneri reported them to FIFA over their public courtship of the starlet.

However, President Ramon Calderon does not seem willing to give up and intends to keep the promise made during his election campaign by netting the Brazilian star.

AS immediately replied to Milan’s letter, stating the picture was taken on May 4 and was only meant to be Kaka’s way of wishing his Brazilian friends in Spain good luck for the title race.

“Milan’s reaction only proves the club’s nervousness as they fear that the player could join Real Madrid,” ended AS.
