To see fans react to Kaka's possible sale...

City's move for the AC Milan star has not escaped the attention of multi-millionaire QPR co-owner Flavio Briatore.

Briatore, boss of Renault's Formula One team, has never been a man to stifle his opinion, and the flamboyant Italian pulled no punches in his condemnation of the potential transfer.

"If you'd put Schumacher in a Minardi it would have gone nowhere," Briatore said.

"If you put Kaka in this club it would go nowhere. It is completely mad.

"You look at Robinho. When he arrived he looked like he had solved the problem, but now the team looks like it is very close to going down.

"You have to have respect as well because there are people in the grandstands who only earn £14,000 a year.

"They see all this money going to one player, and for me there are no morals at all."

Briatore, speaking at the launch of his team's new car for the 2009 season at the Algarve Motor Park, is now demanding the introduction of a salary cap.

It is an idea that has been mooted before but has been rejected due to the difficulties of imposing such a rule.

But Briatore, who runs QPR along with F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and one of the world's richest men, Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, is adamant it is time for the players to stop earning such outrageous sums of money.

"Without a salary cap we will go nowhere," insisted the 58-year-old.

"When I arrive at my club parking lot it looks like the best car dealership in London because you see only Porsche, Audi and Ferrari.

"Yet there are people out there who have difficulties paying their mortgage.

"I feel the sport needs to set a good example to everybody because it's very challenging.

"I hope we arrive at a point where we impose a salary cap for the players. It's fundamental for the good of the sport."
