Legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani would rather see Milan sell every other member of their team instead of Kaka.

The 74-year-old is adamant Milan can't afford to part with the Brazilian, not even for the ￡107m offered by Manchester City.

"I would rather tell [Adriano] Galliani to sell all of Milan. It's pointless to get rid of the single most important piece," he said.

"Economically, it's a possibility that will probably never happen again, neither to him, nor Milan. But this amount of money for such a young boy… "

"The whole system is wrong. People pay stupid amounts of money for actors, photographers and other professionals. It's not good. "

"I would be sorry to see Kaka leave," concluded Armani, who has used the 26-year-old in several of his fashion campaigns.

"We have a splendid relationship with Kaka and his wife. They are exquisite people. But I understand that an offer of this genre…"

Kaka, whose father is set for talks with the San Siro outfit this afternoon, is expected to make a decision today as to whether he will stay at Milan or leave for Manchester City.
