Mijatovic: AC Milan made it difficult for Real Madrid in Kaka pursuit

Real Madrid sports chief Pedja Mijatovic admits their pursuit of Kaka has been hampered by the profile of AC Milan.

He explained: "The fact that Kaka plays for Milan, one of the greatest clubs in the world, has made things very difficult for us."

Real president Ramon Calderon is expected in Japan this week and plans to make a fresh inquiry about Milan's willingness to sell the Ballon d'Or champ.
