Real new chairman Florentino Perez masterminded a €67.2million bid to lure Kaka from AC Milan after prolonged negotiations with the Rossoneri.

Subsequently, Laporta seems uneasy with his counterpart's criteria, accusing Los Merengues of distorting the transfer market.

"It's an opportunity to try to show that the market is at different levels. To pay these quantities is exorbitant," said the Barca chairman.

"It doesn't fit in with the reality of the market and it's too risky. It's distorting it."
