Milan captain Paolo Maldini has spoken of his delight at team-mate Kaka's decision to shun a world-record transfer to Manchester City.

Rossoneri playmaker Kaka turned down the chance of a reported £500,000-a-week salary to remain at the San Siro and veteran defender Maldini is glad he did so.

"There was a point in which I feared that he would leave because I really didn't expect this situation to arise," said the Milan captain.

"Fortunately, it has ended well.

"Ricky (Kaka) has an incredible effect on children. My son Christian started crying when he heard the news and when he found out he was staying he was really happy."

Andriy Shevchenko, who left the San Siro two years ago to move to Chelsea only to return last summer to the Rossoneri outfit, said: "Kaka has done the right thing. Kaka did ask me many questions but his situation and my situation are somewhat different.

"I believe he chose what was in his heart.

"With him, Milan are always stronger."
