Milan president Silvio Berlusconi insists he knows nothing about any mega offer from Manchester City for Kaka.

Reports in England and Italy suggested the rich Citizens were ready to offer the Brazilian a whopping €285,000 per week deal for his services. However, the reaction from Milan seems to suggest that it's all paper talk.

"I don't know about an offer, but I am hoping Kaka stays with Milan," Berlusconi told Il Corriere Dello Sport.

Apart from the whispers surrounding Kaka's future, all the limelight has been on English midfielder David Beckham. It has been going well for the former Manchester United man and Berlusconi is impressed.

"I have really liked Beckham as he has proved he is a modest and great professional," he said.

The squad was back at Milanello this evening as they prepare for their clash at San Siro against Fiorentina on Sunday. Becks is likely to make his full 'home' debut then.

Ronaldinho didn't take part as he has been struck down with flu, but new recruit Thiago Silva trained with the rest of the team.
