New Delhi: The Brazilian superstar has declared that he was never going to leave AC Milan, despite reports suggesting he was close to an exit.
Late on Monday night, Milan President, Silvio Berlusconi, confirmed that the club’s star man, Kaka, would be staying put in the fashion capital, after calling off the Brazilian’s reported deal to Manchester City at the very last moment.
The Rossoneri supremo deemed that a player of his stature was "unsellable", and just like that, Kaka’s move to Eastlands was over, following weeks and weeks of speculation and high drama.
For the first time since the announcement, the Brazilian spoke to Milan Channel, to give his thoughts on what recently took place.
"Not even for thirty seconds did I think about leaving," he stated.
"I never wanted money or anything. I am doing very well in a place where people respect and love me, and I am therefore happy to be here. My family has been very good to me as always, however I had no doubts as to what I would be doing this time around. I went with my heart, as it was never going to be an economic choice for me."
"At Milan there are wonderful people, and just to confirm, I have never, and will never, ask for an increase in my wages at this club. Everyone here is very good to me, and for this I can only thank them," he added.
"I will be celebrating at home with a couple of friends now that this is all over, and I’m just looking ahead to moving forward with Milan. I am a strong believer in God; however it is not always the most logical path that God chooses for us."
"If the club had accepted an offer, I would have been very upset and disappointing in leaving. My companions have been exceptional to me as well over this time, even though they knew that I was never going to join Manchester City. I would like to embrace all those who have sent me messages recently, so thank you all very much," he concluded.
It’s back to business for Kaka and Milan this weekend, when they travel to Bologna to face the promoted outfit.
