AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has laughed off rumours that he sold Kaka to Real Madrid knowing the Brazilian was injured.

Kaka has failed to set Spain alight since his move to Real last summer, something that many observers are claiming is down to the 27-year-old's continuing attempts to overcome a groin problem.

Reports in Spain are now claiming that Milan went ahead with the transfer whilst fully aware of Kaka's injury woes - an accusation Galliani has been quick to deny.

"It's absurd," he said.

"Last season Kaka played 31 games in the Italian league and was a virtual ever-present.

"I don't like the suggestion that we gave Real Madrid an injured player."

Kaka, who only recently returned to action after being sidelined through injury since the defeat at Barcelona at the end of November, remains adamant that he is, once again, back to full fitness.

"I am totally cured," Kaka said.

"I am good and I don't have any more pain."
