AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani admits Europe's biggest clubs want star Kaka.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid are all chasing the Brazilian and Galliani says: "With the risk of sounding boring, if we continue like this, we will become a small league.

"We have had requests for Kaka and Pato from two of Europe's biggest clubs and we will try and resist the assault from these European clubs who have more money than us.

"But there is an uneven playing field.

"I think that Kaka, like any world-class player, is always wanted by other clubs.

"He is a man who will always be in the market. I cannot deny that I hope he continues to play for us as he is a key player for this club.

"But it is normal that he is wanted on the market."
