Adriano Galliani has said Spanish media reports were wrong to claim Milan had sold Kaka to Real Madrid with an injury.

Milan's vice-president is furious with the way fingers were pointed at the Italians over the player's long-term injury problems.

"It's not true that Kaka has cronic sportsman's hernia, we did not sell an injured player to Real Madrid," he told reporters outside the Lega Calcio offices in Milan.

Amantino Mancini's arrival was criticised by club president Silvio Berlusconi, who said he was bemused by the signing.

"We chose Mancini because [Cagliari president Massimo] Cellino did not sell us Nene," added Galliani.

"I believe in Mancini, [Luciano] Spalletti once said he was one of the best he had ever coached. Berlusconi's words? I will not comment."
