Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani insists talks over selling Kaka to Chelsea did not get very far.

Galliani confirmed he met Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich recently and they discussed the possibility of trading players but it was clear neither club could prise away their targets.

"I asked him for Shevchenko and he asked me for Kaka" - Adriano Galliani

Galliani said: "It is true that I was on Abramovich's boat.

"It's true that he has had me as his guest and that I asked him for Shevchenko and he asked me for Kaka.

"But it finished 0-0 as we told him no for Kaka and they said no for Andriy.

"We have a great relationship with Chelsea from a human level, but that doesn't mean they will say yes for Sheva and we will say yes for Kaka. I believe Kaka is happy at Milan."
