Ricardo Kaka met with a Sao Paulo board member

Ricardo Kaka could return to Sao Paulo nine years after his departure. That is the desire of the institution of Morumbi and it has been so transferred to white playmaker. Last Thursday there was a meeting at restaurant Dona Onça of Sao Paulo between Real Madrid player and Marco Aurelio Cunha, board member of the Brazilian team. The counselor inquired about options for signing him again for the Sao Paulo team.

Ricardo Kaka could return to Sao Paulo

"I want to succeed here and I will not go", was the speech held by Kaka this season. However, now he would welcome to return to Brazil. Mainly for two reasons. His long-awaited return to Sao Paulo ("I will return someday" he says) and the 2014 World Cup to be played in his country. The white 8 has in his mind to play this important competition, something that is very difficult if he continues taking a secondary role in the set of Mourinho.

Therefore, the meeting with Cunha reached great significance, more so, for who is this person. His ancestry on decisions made from the offices of Morumbi is considerable, although not as superintendent of football (he held this position from 2002 to January 2011). As an illustration, Cunha sponsored the arrival of the coach Emerson Leao in October. Furthermore, Cunha has announced his candidacy for the presidential elections of 2014 and although if now he could not materialize the return of Kaka, the player would be in a good position to sign in the next two years.

The next step of Sao Paulo to repatriate Kaka will be formalized through concrete proposals. The Sao Paulo club would be willing to take his salary (nine million euros per season) through sponsors, in the same style Neymar signed his contract with Santos (Nike, Panasonic, Nextel and Red Bull cover a lot of of his salary). The agreement with Real Madrid will be more difficult because Sao Paulo will never come close to pay the 25 million euros offered by the PSG. The French club will be the biggest opponent for the Sao Pualo supporters to get their idol.

PSG offers 25 million euros in cash for Kaka

The offer that will make the Paris Saint-Germain to sign Kaka is 25 million euros in a single payment. Cash. One thing that may be essential for the Real Madrid access to transfer the Brazilian player. That amount, to pay this summer, is seen as a good operation.

Ricardo Kaka

In the white club the Kaka transfer is already valued in economic terms, with the satisfaction that what looked like an expensive signing will now have an economic return. Something that is not negligible because the player just turned 30. Florentino Perez agreed with Milan the price of 64 million euros, an amount that in those days, compared to 96 kilos paid for Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United, were evaluated as a good investment. But Kaka has not reached the level of the Portuguese player.

The 25 million euros PSG is willing to pay are adjusted to market. And white leaders have made the accounts. Kaka, who signed for six years, has come at a cost of 31.5 million euros in the three seasons he has been in Real Madrid club. He is in the middle on his contract and the proportional part of each season is around 10.5 million euros per each. If Kaka does not stay, it can be said that the cost of his move to Madrid did not exceed 32 million euros. Real Madrid can sell at a key moment with an offer whose income was not very clear.

Furthermore, in the economic return that generates this player, are the millions of euros that has generated by publicity. The image rights were shared by 50 percent and, despite his irregularity, Kaka remains an important source of income. He is still an icon.

Another thing is the 27 million euros Real Madrid has paid, in concept of salary, this three seasons. Kaka has the highest payroll in the white club squad (9 millions net), as Cristiano Ronaldo. Although his out would also mean a saving of 27 millions he would earns if he stays until 2015, ending date on his contract.

The pieces fit together. Real Madrid could open the door to a player for who bet strong but is no longer unchallenged in the team. Even Kaka recognizes it and has realised he needs an exit because he wants to play and has the objective of participating in the 2014 World Cup to be held in his country.

The PSG can give a decisive move to the operation in the next few hours and has also ensured the player that is willing to respect him the same salary as signed in Real Madrid. The tax system in France is different from Spain but Kaka is confident that he is going to continue earning those 9 million euros net.

PSG launches offensive to recruit Kaka

Everyone already knows that Higuain is the basis of the new project of the Paris Saint-Germain for next season. The Qatari leaders of the Parisian club will fight hard for the forward but they know that Real Madrid is not going to help and they will have the competition from Juventus and the "game" of the father with the two sides. But before resolving the 'drama' of the summer, they want to close a transaction very important to them: the signing of Ricardo Kaka.

In Paris some think that nothing will prevent the Brazilian player can wear the French club shirt and they will do everything possible for that to happen very quickly. They know that Real Madrid is not going to retain him and that nobody in Europe is willing, like them, to ensure a payroll close to that currently the player earns in Spain. French media talk about eight million euros a year compared to ten he gets now. Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of PSG, has spoken several times with the player and President Nasser Al-Khelaifi traveled to Madrid to finish convincing him. Negotiations are in the final stage and French club hopes to announce soon the signing.

To get a Golden Ball player, although he is not in his best condition, would be for the PSG the signal that the project is very serious and could result in pulling power to facilitate the arrival in Paris of other world stars. French Club managers know that if Real Madrid decides to transfer him, Kaka would only agree to return to Brazil or go to PSG. We will see.

Kaka: Holidays and transferable

Kaka, a transfer of 67 million euros that has not met expectations, left yesterday on vacation with transferable poster. The footballer, 30 years old, earns nine million euros a year, is signed through 2015 and the club has put him on the market, provided the club to come for him pays between 25 and 30 million euros.

Ricardo Kaka

PSG leaders have held several meetings with the Brazilian to address his signing as L'Equipe published. Leonardo, Parisian club's sporting director, keeps a close friendship with Kaka from their time in Milan. The white team player still refuses to leave, even if Real Madrid decides to transfer him, Kaka would only agree to return to Brazil or go to PSG. Mourinho has lost faith in him: "Kaka has had good games, in others he has been crucial and in others neither he nor I have been happy with his performance" said the coach on May 12.

The footballer has been overtaken by the competition: Özil (23 years) and even Di Maria (24), who has also played as playmaker. The penalty missed against Bayern, Mourinho's punishment replacing him at half time in the Calderon stadium and Granada, his lack of commitment taking 33 days to recover from a simple contusion on his right leg in November and the whistles of the Bernabeu fans have sentenced him.

Thus, Kaka has not been able to improve the numbers of his first season at Real Madrid. That year he suffered a groin injury that kept him injured 85 days. This season he has played 388 minutes less and has scored eight goals, two goals difference with the ten goals he scored in the 09-10 season. With two knee surgeries and 39% of minutes played in three seasons, his future in white is not very encouraging.

Real Madrid sale operation 2012-2013

Mourinho is clear about how many players the team will sign: "We will make two signings to strengthen the group" said recently, but hesitates about how many are going out. He gave some other indications: "Higuain and Sahin will not leave" he acknowledged too, what reduces the blacklist, but there are several white players who have nothing clear their future for next season.

Adan wants to leave. The goalkeeper believes that he has completed a cycle and with 24 years, which will be 25 next Saturday, wants to go out to play minutes. His situation is reminiscent of Diego Lopez (current Villarreal's goalkeeper). This is a problem because Mourinho had the goal well defended and this would force him to sign other goalie. So he wants to convince Adan and Mourinho is willing to offer him to play the Spanish Cup from start to finish. Then there is the club, which is not going to give away. For less than two million euros is not going to transfer the player.

With Albiol is the same. Mourinho has no objection. He wants the player to stay because the coach values his commitment and professionalism, but the central defender is not ready to lose another year and wants to find a way out. Player's agent is scheduled to meet shortly at Madrid with the sport management of the club. Here the problem is the price of the transfer. Albiol cost 15 million euro just three years ago and the club will want to recover much of the investment. Among other things, to sell would require to sign, and sign well, because although Varane is a future option, can not remain as the only alternative for Pepe and Ramos.

The sale of Kaka is a very delicate operation. In Madrid the staff is very cautious and prudent. Here, what player thinks about is key. He has a score to settle with the fans and to himself and does not lost hope of succeeding in white. On the other hand, is the dream of the World Cup in Brazil, and he needs the minutes that Mourinho is not going to give him. After the decision of the player, who has a pending meeting with Mourinho to discuss his future, Real Madrid will move tab, but is clear that for less than 25 million euro, Kaka does not move. In this sense, the PSG is the only way today.

Lass Diarra will be a headache. Already last year the club got big problems to transfer him. After he wasted the whole summer pre-season wanting to go (he did not attend the tour throught U.S.A. and China) knocked down, at the last moment, the agreement reached between Tottenham and Real Madrid. The problem is that now Lass does not want to leave. He prefers to finish the remaining year of the contract and go free in 2013. It will be very complicated and much more earn some money with a player who cost 24 million euro.

Another problem is Altintop. The Turkish came free, but his salary is too high for the poor performance he has given. Mourinho bet on him for his experience and versatility, but could not make the most he would have liked. So, for what Altintop offers, the club is in favor of a youth squad player, who would be much cheaper. Further after the positive experiences of Granero and Callejon.

Finally there is the issue of Carvalho. Mourinho said he was renewed until 2013, but the club assumes that the announcement will not be a problem and the player will come out.

Ricardo Kaka: The saddest end

Kaka is living his most difficult days as a player of Real Madrid. The Brazilian is happy for the league title, which has enjoyed celebrating in Cibeles, but at the same time is sunk by his personal situation. The white '8' knows that he is not important for Mourinho and that the season ending he is doing is not helping to reverse the situation. The player does not perform and Mourinho does not forgive.

Kaka with Mourinho on the bench

Kaka has played only three of the last eight games for Real Madrid this season. Three games against Atletico, Bayern and Granada where he has been pointed out by Mourinho and the fans. At the Vicente Calderon was replaced in half time after a gray first half. The same happened on Saturday in Los Carmenes against Granada. Real Madrid was losing after the first 45 minutes and Mourinho did not hesitate to let him in the locker room.

Against Bayern in the second leg, Kaka was a substitute and Mourinho put him on the field at 75 minutes thinking it could be the day of the Brazilian. The Portuguese looked to the bench and saw the Golden Ball 2007, an expert player in the Champions League, and thought that would still have his night of glory with the shirt of Madrid. But Kaka came out and sank. He tried everything and did not achieve almost nothing. And to make matters worse, missed a penalty in the fateful shootout. The Bernabeu stadium saw everything.

Kaka, above all things, has some clear his desire to continue at Real Madrid. The midfielder said he is happy for the league title, another success for his career, although he admits that his role on the team has overshadowed that success. "It was very nice despite not being the star of the conquest. It is something different from what I was used" he says, although he prefers to be positive and says it is "a great motivation to go back to being a main piece of the team".

Now it's wait and see what happens with Kaka this summer. The player knows that Real Madrid wants to sell and he is aware that its cycle in the white team is close to come to the end, but his departure will not be so simple. The PSG wants him, but Madrid will try to get the most for the Brazilian, who cost 67 million euros. Be seen to the true interest of the French team, that would have to pay Kaka a salary of 10 million euros per season.

The PSG met with Kaka and Higuain

The president of the Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser al-Khelaifi, met last week with the Real Madrid players Kaka and Gonzalo Higuain trying to convince them to sign for the French team, reports the daily L'Equipe. The Brazilian and Argentinian are two of the priorities of the PSG for the next transfer market, the newspaper said, noting that Al-Khelaifi has chosen to convince the players before contact with Real Madrid.

Kaka and Gonzalo Higuain

Bought early last season by money from Qatar, the PSG is one of the clubs are investing more money on players. At 30 years old, Kaka is not listed as one of the priorities of Jose Mourinho, who has placed him as starter only 16 times this season. However, his salary of 10 million euros net is one of the highest, so that Real Madrid would not object to the leaving of the Golden Ball 2007, that bought in 2009 by 67.2 million euros.

According to L'Equipe, the white team "does not require compensation too high" for the Brazilian. Al-Khalaifi tried to convince him of his plan to make PSG a big club in Europe and the player asked to meet with the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, with who coincided at Milan between 2003 and 2009, the newspaper said.

More complex seems the sell of Higuain, who has scored 21 goals this season with the white shirt, which has worn 32 times, making him one of the favorite players at the Bernabeu. However, the Argentinian is suffering more and more competition from French Karim Benzema, who looks to be the favorite of Mourinho at the top of the attack, so the PSG president would have proposed him a way out.

According to L'Equipe, Real Madrid would be willing to let him go if he expresses his desire to leave. Higuain is one of the PSG options to strengthen the attack, but the French capital club manages other, as the Uruguayan Luis Suarez form Liverpool, they said.

Kaka did not pass the final test against Bayern Munchen

Kaka took the field on 74 minutes by Di Maria. Mourinho saw in him the solution to overwhelm Bayern defense. The resource was a failure. The Brazilian accused physical frailty, he was very slow for this level of football and showed no ability to circumvent the Germanic control, with a huge Kroos. To complete the suspense, shot a penalty kick with unbecoming uncertainty of a 67 million euros player. The crowd punished him with whistles.

Kaka did not play well against Bayern Munchen

In the white club, Kaka is considered again as a transferable player, but Mourinho says he believes in the Brazilian. The problem is that there is no club in the world to pay the 50 million the player is priced and bear the 9 million euros of annual net salary (as Cristiano) who has signed until 2015. Milan, PSG and Inter knocked on the door in 2011, but resigned.

Kaka has managed only a good run since arriving in 2009. It was between November and January 2012, playing a great game against Villarreal. Then some discomfort in a tendon in his left leg took him out of the starting lineup. Injuries have mortified him: groin injury, 263 days lost in 2010 by two left knee surgeries... The Brazilian has not given what was expected of him.

For Kaka, there are only four games remaining to play in league with Real Madrid and wait for the summer. Then will be the time when the Brazilian will decide his future, which is surely far from the Bernabeu. It may be in London ... or Paris.

The numbers of his bad game:

• Kaka ran 2,436 meters in 46 minutes against Bayern. For comparison, Kroos ran 11,409 meters in 120. In other way, the Brazilian ran 52 meters per minute, compared to 95 from German.
• The Brazilian tried 10 dribbling and only 3 of them ended successfully. He participated in 32 activities of play, less than one per minute, and only stepped the Bayern's penalty area 3 times without any notable result; no shot on target.
• Kaka gave 13 passes, 5 of them were wrong and 8 correct. He was better connected with Xabi Alonso. To Cristiano, Benzema and Higuain, zero passes!
• He recovered 3 balls that were in Bayern's feet, but lost 5, because of his fragility and lack of security with the ball.

Kaka and Özil could play together at the Camp Nou

Kaka and Özil together in a match at Santiago Bernabeu

Mourinho looks to surprise at the Camp Nou with Kaka's return to the starting lineup. So the Portuguese would raise the penalty to the Brazilian, who did not play a minute neither against Bayern nor against Sporting. Real Madrid coach did not like the defensive stance of Kaka during the derby against Atletico. Kaka started the game but was replaced in half time.

Mourinho is considering the possibility of starting with Özil and Kaka, a tandem that does not know defeat when they played as starters. The two midfielders have played 12 games together this season with a record of ten wins and two draws. In addition, the formula worked on 25 January in the Spanish Cup semifinal when Real Madrid tied (2-2) and offered an image of superiority against the Barca team. Also, Kaka played one of his best games as Real Madrid player at the Camp Nou with Pellegrini on the bench (1-0).

"We do not lose when Kaka and I are in the starting lineup", said Özil in Kicker. Barcelona is obligated to win three points in this classic to continue putting pressure on Real Madrid in the league. Meanwhile, Guardiola will have to think in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal against Chelsea next Tuesday.

Di Maria will be the victim in this scheme. Mourinho could reserve him for the second half and take advantage of his speed when the fatigue factor goes into the scenary. Coach poses use him as a plunger, as did against Valencia or Sporting, when the white team went into halftime with a tie on the scoreboard.

The Argentine reappeared on March 31 against Osasuna after overcoming his hamstring injury in the proximal portion of the right rectus femoris. Since then he has played 260 minutes, divided in five games (two starts).

Kaka traveled to Paris to meet Leonardo

Canal + France reported yesterday that Kaka had dinner on Monday in Paris with PSG's sporting director, Leonardo. The midfielder took advantage of two days of rest that Mourinho gave to the template after the match against Espanyol and traveled to the French capital, where he was with his compatriot. Both bear a strong relationship of friendship. They met for their joint stage in Milan and even the foermer player recommended to the Rossoneri club to sign Kaka when he began to emerge in Sao Paulo.

In the management area of ​​the stadium Santiago Bernabeu, the meeting looks quite naturally. They subtract any importance. They know the relationship of affection that binds the two Brazilians and understand the event as a simple meeting between two friends. Althought Leonardo has always had an interest in being reunited with Kaka. He wanted him last season when he was coach of Inter, and this summer, with the arrival at the Parisian club, he put again his name on the table as a possible reinforcement. Backed by the money of Sheikh Hamad Al Thani, he could try to sign Kaka for the next season. That seems to be his desire.

The mysterious future of Kaka

Kaka faces his third season at Real Madrid in a much more uncertain situation than the previous two. In the first, he was a luxury signing that did not work, and in the second a player injured. Now, it seems he is not an importante player for Jose Mourinho, as was seen in the Spanish Super Cup.

Kaka's future is a mystery

Kaka's future remains shrouded in mystery. It is difficult to understand how a player of 65 million euros, Golden Ball in 2007, has hardly left some loose details in two seasons. Also is difficult to explain the series of circumstances that forced him to undergo surgery after the World Cup in South Africa. Perhaps the simplest is to take over his current situation; After almost two seasons without playing a good standard, has been overcome through the ranks of the team not only by Mesut Özil, but even by newcomers Coentrao and Callejon.

If Mourinho faced the Spanish Super Cup as a test for the season, the outlook is grim for Ricardo Kaka. In the first leg he did not play a minute and in the second the last 13 minutes, the final, with Real Madrid playing desperately. He left no trace in the Camp Nou. As in the rest of the preseason, except for a few good minutes in the game against the LA Galaxy, the first friendly. After that, did not shine nor in the U.S. nor in Europe nor in China. Too little for a player who spent his vacations denying his departure from the club and summoning the Real Madrid fans to his first 'usual' preseason after years of misfortune.

By now, the future of Kaka is the main sports mystery of the Real Madrid. The Brazilian has four seasons in the contract with 10 million euros per year. A salary that does not correspond with his performance and also stifles any possibility of transfer.

But a loan is possible. Wenger is pondering asking the Arsenal managing the loan of Real Madrid midfielder. The London club believes that Kaka is the only name that can ease the discontent of the fans following the departure of Cesc. A swollen that has started timidly to ask for dismissal of Wenger. To pay 10 million euros to the Brazilian would break the wage structure imposed by Wenger, but according the exceptional circumstances surrounding the club...

Squad: Kaka (8)

Kaka

Kaka is the complete package. His vision of the game is unparalleled and his shooting ability strikes fear into opponents. No one in Europe can control the tempo like the Brazilian. He is a consistent assist-man who concludes every season with more than a handful of goals. Kaka’s leadership skills allow him to shoulder any responsibilities that may arise. He’s a man whose football career has been based on his quiet, out-of-the-spotlight life and strong religious convictions.

During his youth team years, Kaka tended to stand out above the rest. Sao Paulo first took notice and by 2001 he had earned a starting spot with the first team, played in 27 matches and scored 12 goals. The following season he knocked in ten goals in 22 matches. After leading Sao Paulo to the Super Campeonato Paulista title in 2002, Kaka debuted with the Brazilian national team. By then, steady European interest in the 21-year old culminated in his signing with AC Milan.

Kaka played in 30 matches and scored ten goals en route to the Scudetto and Italian Super Cup in his first year with Milan. In 2005, the attacking midfielder almost single-handedly carried his team to the Champions League final, which Milan lost in a penalty shootout against Liverpool. In 2007, Kaka became the focal point of Milan’s offense and added Champions League and Club World Cup titles to his trophy case. That same year he went on to win all the top individual accolades, including the Ballon d’Or, FIFA World Player of the Year and FIFPro World Player of the Year.

Kaka made his debut for Brazil in a 2002 friendly against Bolivia. That summer he was a member of the 2002 World Cup-winning squad but received very little playing time. In 2005, Kaka was included in Brazil’s squad for the FIFA Confederations Cup and played all five matches, including a goal-scoring performance in the final, while in 2006 he started in his first World Cup. He has been a Seleção mainstay ever since.

Kaka disappoints in U.S.A.

Kaka starts to run out of credit with the Madrid fans. The Brazilian started strong in the first friendly game against Los Angeles Galaxy, leaving promising sensations in the 45 minutes he was on the pitch, but lost momentum in the two following the American tour. Against Chivas Guadalajara was unnoticed and replaced in 47 minutes. Against the Philadelphia Union was even a substitute. Mourinho allowed him to play the full second half and Kaka had a disappointing performance.

Kaka

A performance that is still not commensurate with his star status and his high salary (nine million net, like Cristiano, the highest of the template). Kaka still does not shine in Madrid and runs out excuses because it's his first preseason without physical problems that difficult his performance. In 2009, his first year in white team, pubis problem affected him, the same that he suffered the last months in Milan. He spent the summer of 2010 with Brazil in the World Cup where he played injured, went on vacation and returned to go through the operating room for knee surgery.

Mourinho wanted to see the good side last June: "This summer he will rest. He had no preseason for four years. Our belief and hope is that Kaka can make a difference". But after three friendly matches, the Brazilian has not given signs of improvement. Still, Chelsea and Milan do not lose sight of Kaka. Berlusconi and Abramovich want the player in their squads but the main obstacle remains the high salary of footballer.

Chelsea is still interested in Kaka

While Jose Mourinho has decided to give a second chance to Kaka, Real Madrid's Brazilian footballer is still one of the Chelsea's options to strengthen its midfield, especially if English team misses its attempt to sign Tottenham's Croatian player Luka Modric.

The British media link the future of both players, and the continued interest from Chelsea for Kaka has been reactivated after Tottenham has rejected his latest bid for Modric. Roman Abramovich's club could have offered 30 million euros, five million more than the initial offering of 25, made ​​only a month ago and also rejected by the Spurs.

At the moment, Tottenham remains firm in its stance and has said publicly that the player is not transferable, although Modric has shown his willingness to change of scenery. Thus, while Chelsea will not raise its offer, it seems that nothing will change, what has meant that the new coach of the 'Blues', Andre Villas-Boas, is weighing the possibility of changing the target and try the signing of Kaka, whose play has always enjoyed an extraordinary fame in Stamford Brigde, especially since the stage of Carlo Ancelotti.

Note: Galatasaray dreams of signing Kaka

Galatasaray is one of the most active teams in European football market, a market with little movement so far. The club seeks to recover lost positions in Turkey first and later in Europe, and is attentive to the movements around the main figures that change of 'air'. Turkish team has 'touched' at various big names and tried to take from Atletico Forlan, Reyes and Ujfalusi, but only had luck with the Czech defense. Now the coach, Fatih Terim, has said he wants a powerful template because is impossible to fight for titles with a group too young. His dream, to restore prominence to Galatasaray, is Kaka, whose status is not still being fully defined at Real Madrid.

The Brazilian, who has failed to show his best since joining Real Madrid has sounded for several teams in Italy and England. Napoli has been one of the last interested although the operation was impossible because the squad in southern Italy wanted a loan in which the Real Madrid will have to take too much of the salary of the player. Real Madrid would only accept a financial offer high enough to recover the investment made two seasons ago to get Kaka.

Inter Milan offers 30 million euros for Kaka

Inter Milan are looking for a star signing for next season and has chosen to Kaka. The interest comes from long ago, but has been in the last week when was decided to get hold of the services of the Brazilian. Neroazzurro team has already initiated contacts with Real Madrid and has started the bidding with an offer of 30 million euros which is insufficient for Madrid that evaluates it, being only the first touchdown. Madrid believes that if Inter really wants the Brazilian, will put more money on the table.

Kaka

Real Madrid, for now, merely listens to offers, but has already made ​​it clear that the price of Kaka is 40 million euros. The handled figures in the white club are quite simple. The Brazilian's salary is 10 million per season and has four years remaining of the contract, so they look for a transaction in which the player does not depreciate too much becuase they paid 67 million.

"To lose money with Kaka, we stay with him", say from the offices of the Bernabeu Stadium every time the name of the Brazilian goes to scene. Because Kaka's case is complicated. There are many people within the organization who believe that the 8 of Madrid is recoverable, but weigh more the two years in which his performance has been more than disappointing. So the conclusion is that they only will sell the player, if there is a good bid, such as the Inter's. Otherwise, player will remain on the white template, cause the player does not bother to Mourinho.

Although Milan, Chelsea, Manchester City, Sao Paulo and Corinthians are interested in Kaka, currently the only formal proposal that has come to the Bernabeu is the Inter's. And is that few clubs in the world are prepared to take the high salary of the Brazilian. In fact, only the City and Inter have enough money, since even Abramovich's team is tightening the belt in the wages of the players.

In this operation, which has only just begun, has not been put on the table the name of Maicon. The Brazilian does not matter, in principle, to Real Madrid, that for the defense, just thinks about Fabio Coentrao, who can play at right side. In addition, Madrid does not thinks on exchanges of players. If the Brazilian midfielder leaves Madrid, will be for a good amount of money that would be used to mitigate the paid of the signing of striker, whether Neymar or Aguero, will be around 45 million euros.

Bosco Leite: "Kaka is not going anywhere"

Bosco Leite, Kaka's father and agent, yesterday afternoon held a meeting at the offices of Milan with the vice president of the "rossoneri" club, Adriano Galliani, the sporting director of the entity, Ariedo Braida, and the coach of the team, Massimiliano Allegri.

Bosco Leite: Kaka's father

The main topic of conversation during this meeting with friends, was the future of Kaka. Galliani is very concerned by reports that place the Brazilian player at Inter, Milan's arch rival. Bosco Leite assured him privately that the player will remain in Madrid and at the exit of office confirmed it publicly: "Kaka is not going anywhere".

The interest of Milan for Kaka's situation is not new. In fact, the Italian club is always aware of what might happen with the Brazilian player, because in a sentimental level, the player is considered theirs. Think of him as a child who has gone abroad to study at another club and the last thing they would want is to see him on the colors of the Inter.

In Milan, speculates that Bosco Leite and Galliani had reached an agreement whereby the player's father will immediately notify the club if the player leaves Real Madrid. Thus Milan would have preference for Kaka keeping in mind the economic situation.

Meanwhile, Kaka has repeatedly stated his desire to continue in Real Madrid. The last was on June 10, after the birthday of his son: "The truth is that I want to stay in Madrid. I know I have not met expectations and I would like to improve, so I take it as a personal goal".

Interview: Kaka

KAKA: "IT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT YEAR IN MY CAREER"

Kaka, who is on vacation in Brazil, said in an interview with the newspaper "O Estado de Sao Paulo" that the last year has been the toughest of his career. He also assured that is a lie that is at odds with Mourinho: "He is very helpful". He confirms that will go to the Copa America and ensures that Neymar, who he considers the best talent in Brazil, will soon make the jump to Europe.

Kaka

What is the balance of the season?
On a personal level was the hardest year of my career. Collectively I can say it was good. We won the Copa del Rey with Barcelona, ​​we reached the semifinal of the Champions League and finishing second in the league. It is not enough for a club the size of Real Madrid.

You were not 100% in the World Cup. Then you went on vacation and when you showed up at Real Madrid after two or three workouts, you had left knee surgery. Would have been better surgery before the summer of 2010?
The truth is I did not want to be operated again. I looked after the World Cup in Sao Paulo and the doctors told me I would need to operate. When I came to the United States showed the medical examinations of Real Madrid and went to a consultation with a specialist there, in Los Angeles, and he also said he would have an operation.

Clinically, are you cured? You still have a problem with the pubis or the knee?
In the pubic I feel nothing more, but the knee is not 100% because it was operated twice. I have to be always watching over me, always treating cartilage and muscle recovery.

Have you noticed any limitations?
I can not have continuity, but that is my problem, not technical decision. I need continuity during matches. In several games I was fine and in other I played erratically. Sometimes I felt I was flying and other tired.

Are you starting from scratch?
My hope is that, I have confidence. I hope to work with everyone without having to stop to take treatment. It's what I need to start well.

You recently said you are indebted to the fans of Real Madrid. Do you think you can pay it off next season?
I still did not match expectations. Not only the press and fans, not to mine. I hope and expect to do great things at Real Madrid. It's all about confidence. And unlike what they say, Mourinho has helped me a lot.

There is news that you would be mad at Mourinho for not playing more...
And they also say that he does not want me at Real Madrid. None of that is true. He has been very honest with me, consistent in their decisions, not only with me but with the team in general. I have only words of thanks.

There are many rumors about your future. Do you have a conviction that will continue in Madrid?
Honestly, that is my wish.

Is it guaranteed?
Before coming here, Mourinho told me to spend holidays quietly, he is waiting for me in the pre-season. My desire is to stay and I will stay.

What about Brazil national team? How were the talks with Menezes?
I had two very helpful conversations with him. One in October in Madrid and another by telephone in May. In the latter we conclude that it would be better not to go to the Copa America and take the time to recover. I want to return to the team, but first I have to play well in Madrid.

World Cup 2014 is your dream?
I hope to have that opportunity, but I do not know what condition I'll be here in three years.

What do you think about Ganso, Neymar and Lucas?
They'll be some time in Brazil. They have an impressive talent and will go far. Neymar I think is a bit ahead of the rest, but all three are excellent.

Moratti would accept the exchange Kaka-Maicon

Kaka and Maicon

Yesterday the Italian sports daily "La Gazzetta dello Sport" surprised everyone with a cover in which was assured that an exchange of players was brewing between Real Madrid and Inter Milan. Today the same media gives a further twist to the issue and says that Moratti would accept the exchange, Kaka for Maicon, but if Madrid takes part of the salary of the Brazilian midfielder.

Inter Milan president does not consider a problem to lose the Brazilian side, who is considered the best in the world in his position along with Dani Alves, but he is worried thinking about the 6 million euros net that Kaka earns per season in Real Madrid. So the most representative person of the Italian team could have asked Real Madrid to help him, if the operation goes ahead.

Remember that Kaka's salary was the reason why Milan ruled out any possibility of trying to sign Kaka few weeks ago, when following a statement by Berlusconi, was rumored over the interests of Italians to sign him. And today, there are very few teams in the world that can assume a salary so high, and most of those who can, if not all, are in the English Premiership.

Kaka in exchange for Maicon

Jose Mourinho could get this summer the player for who he fought last season and finally could not get. This is the Brazilian Maicon. According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the Portuguese would have had a telephone conversation with Leonardo (Inter Milan coach) in which would have addressed the possible exchange of the side defender for Kaka. According to Italian newspaper, the Inter Milan president, Massimo Moratti, is not yet convinced of this plan, although the idea of ​​having the next season Kaka wearing the 'neroazzurri' shirt is something that seduces him a lot.

Maicon and Kaka

In any case, this information contradicts the news that to date had occurred on the continuity of Kaka at Real Madrid. The Brazilian has repeated several times that all he thinks about is to stay at Real Madrid and win in white, and as was said in the Spanish press, the player would have convinced Mourinho, who had not so clear that the midfielder would continue.

Board's confidence in the quality and possibilities of Kaka also help for his continuity. What's more, many times the former Milan player has made clear his love for the 'rossoneri', so that is at least doubtful that his move feels good to the fans of arch-rivals.

Neither Inter Milan is the first team that is interested in the Brazilian player, nor it is the first time this idea is conceived. Last January was talked about the possibility, but got nowhere. Although his performance has been so hobbled by injuries, Kaka remains a highly coveted piece of the biggest clubs in Europe, like Milan (Berlusconi talked about this) or Chelsea, in process of reconstruction, would have been interested on him in recent months.

In the same way, the Italian daily newspaper 'La Repubblica' also talks about the interest from Inter and Real Madrid to exchange these players. It says that Florentino Perez thinks that Kaka has a price of 40 million euros, while Inter thinks that Maicon is half, 20 million. "The operation (to buy Kaka) can be closed with Maicon and 20 million", said 'La Repubblica', which states that the last word in this deal lies with the Brazilian striker.
