Adel Taarabt revisits his time at AC Milan in a new interview, saying he “put [his] hands round Kaka’s neck” and “lost [his] head.” He discusses the incident as part of explaining why his loan spell in Milan was not made permanent.

In the interview, reported by outlets including Yahoo Sports and Football Italia, Taarabt links the episode to the wider impact it had on his situation at the club. Both reports focus on his account of the confrontation with Kaka and portray it as a factor in the breakdown of his prospects in Italy.

While the two sources draw from the same core interview and do not present conflicting details, they emphasize different framing: one highlights the quoted recollection and the consequences for his Milan future, while the other underscores the same statements within the context of Milan’s decision-making. The reports agree on the central point that Taarabt describes an on-field moment involving Kaka and connects it to why his stint did not continue beyond the loan period.
