Real shelve plans to lure Kaka to Bernabeu

---

MADRID, Oct 28 (AFP): Real Madrid conceded defeat on Sunday in their attempt to lure AC Milan's Brazilian star Kaka to the Bernabeu stadium.
Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has made the brilliant playmaker one of his prime targets and Kaka's possible arrival in Spain has been the subject of frenzied debate in the local media over the past few months.
But the Spanish champions' sporting director Pedja Mijatovic put an end to all the speculation on Sunday, telling Marca: "(Real Madrid) can't allow itself to waste too much time on something that is extremely difficult to obtain."
He added: "We've spoken a lot about this player over the past year and a half.
"Everybody likes him, but we know his situation and where he is playing, we'll move on to something else."
AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi this month said "there has never been any possibility" that the Italian Serie A giants would sell their prize asset.
According to Berlusconi, Kaka, the highest earning footballer in Italy, "has never wanted to leave and I believe that he will never do so... Kaka is the symbol of Milan."
The 25-year-old is favourite in most quarters for December's European Footballer Of The Year award.
