ROME - AC Milan owner and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi vowed on Sunday to combat the huge amounts of money changing hands in football.

"It's necessary to have a minimum sense of practicality and decency. You can't spend certain figures. Now I intend to do something about it because it has become unacceptable."
Milan sold Kaka to Real Madrid for a reported fee of 68 million euros ($94.66 million) earlier this month before the Spanish club made a record 80 million pounds ($130.9 million) bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
