Real president Ramon Calderon declared yesterday that he would fund their bid for the Brazilian through their billion dollar TV deal, but Ancelotti hit back last night: "I know about the contract Real Madrid has signed for their television rights, but Kaka is the property of Milan.

"And he will remain with Milan."
