AC Milan have warned Chelsea that playmaker Kaka is not for sale.
There has been fresh speculation linking the Blues with the Brazil playmaker since the announcement of Luiz Felipe Scolari as their next manager.
Former Brazil national boss Scolari, currently leading Portugal at Euro 2008, will take charge at Stamford Bridge on July 1st and is likely to be handed a large transfer kitty.
Figures of up to €63million have been suggested for 26-year-old Kaka but Milan insist they will not entertain any offers.
"It's normal for a Brazilian coach to try to bring in Brazilian players," technical director Leonardo told the BBC. "But signing Kaka is impossible, because he is here at AC Milan and will be here until the end of his career."
Milan have, however, moved to strengthen their squad with the signing of Italian full-back Gianluca Zambrotta from Barcelona for €9million.
The 30-year-old, who is with the Italian squad at Euro 2008, returns to Serie A after a two-year spell in the Primera Liga.
The former Juventus star will sign a four-year contract with the Rossoneri .
