AC Milan have sent an official note to Spanish daily AS asking them to explain the doctored images of Kaka with their newspaper.

The paper carried the story for Real Madrid's title triumph, and the picture of Kaka posing with it was presented by AS along with fresh rumours linking him with Los Merengues.
Milan have taken exception, and written to the daily.
Says an open statement to AS: "We have found on the online edition of your newspaper, a reproduction of a photograph that shows our player Kakà with your paper, presumably in an edition that is not June 18, 2007.
"The image is however fruit of an obvious photomontage, because the photograph was taken at the Milanello Sports Centre in the middle of April 2007.
"Consequently, Kakà could not exhibit a newspaper that would have been published only two months later.
"The photomontage is not innocent: it re-enters, in fact, in the greater context of the repeated harassments of which Real Madrid have been involved in for over a year to damage A.C. Milan in relation to the player Kakà.
"The alteration of a photograph of Kakà, which otherwise is a completely neutral one, seems to re-enter in this manoeuvre, directed to create in the readers the erroneous conviction that Kakà expects nothing other that to move to Real Madrid.
"And this does not answer to the truth, as not only the player but A.C. Milan have repeatedly declared in the publication."
