Lucas Moura to sing for Real Madrid in 2013

The presence of Jose Mourinho last Saturday in Hamburg to see the match Brazil vs Denmark has returned to the stage the interest of Real Madrid on the Brazilian international player Lucas Moura (Sao Paulo). But in no case it was considered as a decisive step for an immediate signing.

Lucas Moura

In fact, this particular circumstance of spying by the coach has not changed at all the intentions there are in the white club with the player. The best option that Real Madrid provides for now is to try to secure a purchase option so the player can continue to play at least a year in Sao Paulo.

Moreover, there were few new conclusions that Mourinho could get during the friendly. Lucas Moura played out of his natural position, placed to the left and with little presence in the offensive game of his team. Nothing to do with the active participation that he often provides in Sao Paulo when he plays as playmaker.

Lucas Moura's performance did not convince Mourinho and the coach talked about it with members of the white club. The Portuguese thinks Moura is not ready to make the leap from Brazil to a team from the requirement of Real Madrid this summer. Mourinho is also aware that Sao Paulo will ask for more than 25 million euros (rejected an offer of that amount from Inter Milan) and there are several major European teams interested in him. So the operation would be too expensive, especially if the coach is unsure of his performance.

The white coach's decision is not based on this match with Brazil. Real Madrid managed good reports of the player and had provided to Mourinho several videos and data of the Brazilian player. So after his journey through Turkey. Mourinho moved to Itmech Arena in Hamburg with his agent, Jorge Mendes, and his son to see Lucas Moura live.

After the friendly match, Moura himself admitted that he knew the interest of Mourinho: "I did not know he was here, but I knew he would see the game somehow". Sao Paulo's president, Juvenal Juvencio, has also talked about this: "Real Madrid is one of those who are interested in him". But the player's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, has said he will stay in Brazil until 2014. Moura agreed with his agent: "It is too early to go to Europe". Mourinho thinks the same that the player.

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.

Jose Mourinho saw Lucas Moura in Hamburg

Jose Mourinho went yesterday to Hamburg to watch live the match Brazil-Denmark (3-1) where Lucas Moura played, the Sao Paulo's playmaker Real Madrid is interested on. Mourinho traveled from Turkey to Hamburg, accompanied by his son, to watch a duel in which Marcelo also started. Television pictures pointed to the coach of Real Madrid at the break.

Mourinho and his son at Hamburg

His presence in the Imtech Arena was picked up by several media and on Twitter, where even had the answer of Eladio Parames (unofficial Mourinho's agent): "He may have been to see Lucas or the other 21 players than have play". In addition to Lucas, the coach wanted to see Danilo, the Porto right-back who was loaned last winter to Santos, and the Danish Daniel Wass, right side ,22 (international player in all categories) belonging to Benfica but is on loan at the Evian Thonon of the First French (he can play right and left, and even as end, but does not improve the performance of Carvajal, the Real Madrid Castilla player).

The parents of Lucas and his agent, Wagner Ribeiro, visited the Bernabeu stadium on April 14 (They were caught by the cameras) and had dinner with Florentino Perez. Sao Paulo president acknowledged recently that Real Madrid is the most interested club in the player. Lucas renewed last year until 2015 with Sao Paulo, which rejected an Inter MIlan offer (25 million euros). His contract's termination clause is 80 million, and the player himself (the father) owns 20 percent of the rights of his transfer, which will be 30 percent from next July. At 19, Lucas is the biggest star of Brazil with Neymar and both will be in the Olympic Games.

Mourinho and Terim talked about Altintop and Lass Diarra

Jose Mourinho and Fatih Terim had dinner yesterday at the Lesottomans hotel at 7:00 pm (local time). Both coaches have a good relationship, in fact, they give praises each other whenever they can, and Turkish coach asked Mourinho about the situation of Altintop and Lass Diarra.

Hamit Altintop is close to Galatasaray

The case of former Bayern player is easier. He has one foot in the Ottoman team, in fact, a newspaper in Turkey did a photomontage in which the Real Madrid player wears a shirt of Galatasaray. In the morning, Mourinho opened the door to a possible transfer: "Hamit is a very important player in Turkey. I have a great relationship with him. He is a great player and a great person. I would be happy if he stays, but if he wants a change of air, is his life. If he wants to return to Turkey, if he thinks it is the best for his career, we will help him". In addition, Terim coincided with Altintop in his time as coach in Galatasaray and the player is a recognized Galatasaray fan since childhood. In Turkey some claim that the club could pay him nearly 3 million euros per season (in Real Madrid earns 2.2) and would sign as a free agent.

The case of the French player is different. Lass Diarra has signed a preliminary agreement with Galatasaray, as reported by Spanish media, but Real Madrid does not have a firm offer for him and he will not leave the white team as a free agent. As reported in Turkey, the Ottoman club could expect to pay eight million euros for his transfer. Terim wants a man to replace Felipe Melo and Nuri Sahin is not for sale, so he talked his friend Mourinho about the possibility of selling them Lass, but there is nothing definitive.

Gonzalo Higuain: Calm after knowing he stays in Real Madrid

There are few gestures more descriptive than happiness. The wide smile. The face relaxed. The constant jokes in the middle of the relaxation times between the training exercises. So was saw Gonzalo Higuain yesterday in training with the Argentinian national team. And with that mood the striker enjoyed the first few hours after receiving the news of his stay at Real Madrid. For Pipita, the message of support he received from Mourinho came as a refreshing balm. And the cry of 80,000 fans asking him to stay in Madrid was the strongest show of support he received from that morning when he landed at Madrid-Barajas airport for first time, from his native Argentina and River Plate.

Gonzalo Higuain training in Argentina

Higuain went from "We will see" who spoke cautiously when he got there, the winter of Buenos Aires, to his undisguised satisfaction at having made ​​clear his immediate future without this has become a problem in the Spanish summer. Although several Italian media published yesterday that Juventus will send emissaries tomorrow and, moreover, there was a statement of his manager, Marotta: "We are thinking about Higuain, Van Persie and Luis Suarez". However, Higuain just thinks about a victory next Saturday, against Ecuador, on June 2 before entering the challenges that are taking form on the horizon: the return to Real Madrid after the holidays, the desire to keep winning titles in white, the illusion of reconnecting with the fans who moved him to tears by a standing ovation in the Bernabeu: "He always speaks of beautiful things in Madrid, which shows he is comfortable there" said an Argentinian soccer player off the record.

The truth is that Gonzalo shared the yesterday morning with the first players who have already arrive in their country, training under the command of Alejandro Sabella. Pipita was training together with Kun Aguero, Maxi Rodriguez, Angel Di Maria, Jose Sosa, Fernando Gago, Pablo Zabaleta, Red Mark, Ezequiel Garay and Federico Fernandez. After training, they had lunch in the bunker that has the AFA (Argentinian Football Association) in Ezeiza and he left to share the afternoon with your closest friends. So proud to be 'Madridista' that the smile did not have place on his face.

Florentino Perez was close to sign David Silva

David Silva, Real Madrid's target if Kaka leaves the white team, could play today for Real Madrid and not to be a Manchester City player. Florentino Perez has tried to sign the Spanish midfielder two times before. In the first (summer 2009) Valencia was the problem because it was unwilling to negotiate. In the second (2010), "Mourinho's arrival stopped the transfer" the Valencia President, Manuel Llorente, recognized to Spanish media.

David Silva in Madrid

David Silva's name has linked to Florentino Perez for years. The white President wants to sign more Spanish players. In fact the first attempt came with a call from president to president in which Real Madrid wanted to include Villa, Silva and Albiol in one transfer operation. But then, Manuel Llorente, had just reached the presidency of Valencia, and closed the door to Villa and Silva. Valencia wanted to go back to the Champions League competition and only was finalized the transfer of Albiol.

But Valencia knew in advance that could hold Villa and Silva in the squad only for a season. Valencia could not cope with their salaries (around four million euros per season each) and since January 2010 started to prepare their transfers. For Jorge Valdano, and also to Pellegrini (Real Madrid coach at that time), the priority option was always Silva and in every event in which Florentino and Llorente met, they spoke about the player. There were no offer, but they were willing to negotiate and Valencia agreed to alert Real Madrid of any other interest from other clubs.

During those months there was a curious story between Silva and Florentino in the locker room area at the Bernabeu stadium. After a Real Madrid-Valencia match in which Silva threw a ball to the crossbar, three children who were with the white president asked for a picture with the international player. A person who accompanied them took his sport bag to pose for the camera without it. "Put it out there. He will stay with us" Florentino said with a laugh, but deliberately. But in June 2010, when the negotiation had to start, Mourinho looked to Özil and Di Maria and many rumors were written in the Spanish media about the private life of Silva. Today he is World champion and Premiership champion.

Nuri Sahin: "My dream is Real Madrid"

Nuri Sahin denied yesterday that is interested in playing for Galatasaray: "I will not return to Turkey, my dream is still the Real Madrid". Statements of the midfielder who tried to shut up the rumors that erupted in his country after the Saturday dinner with Altintop and Sükrü Hanedar, a director of the Turkish club. Sahin himself uploaded a picture from the restaurant, in a table where two other players joined, Sentürk (Fenerbahce) and Sanli (Wolfsburg). Is not the first time Sahin is very close to Galatasaray. On May 6, a photographer caught him in the Ottoman team's stadium witnessing the Istanbul derby against Besiktas.

Nuri Sahin in Turkey

Yesterday, while Sahin was incorporated to the Turkey national team, commented the bittersweet feelings he has had in his first season in Real Madrid: "I was in the list of players who disappointed last season and I know that the Madrid fans expect more from me. I can do better if I have no more injuries". Sahin knows that his role was secondary this season. Mourinho did not trust in him and played only 642 minutes, but he does not give up: "I will always fight to be a better player for this team".

A self-criticism that gave way to faith in himself: "I have confidence in my ability and I am in the best club in the world. My dream is still the Real Madrid". Sahin will move tomorrow with Altintop and the rest of the Turkish national team to Salzburg (Austria), where they will stay in a training stage. Turkey will play there three friendlies against Georgia on Thursday, against Finland on Saturday and May 29 they will face Bulgaria.

Sahin will also face with Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, he will face with all the Real Madrid's Portuguese international players on June 2, this time in Lisbon. Sahin revealed that Cristiano had already spoken with him about the match: "I talked with him and jokingly told me that we should not play hard because three of my teammates are going to play for Portugal. But I assured him that we must play hard because we have a similar style to the Netherlands (Portugal's rival in the group stage of Eurocup) and Cristiano laughed ".

David Silva: Real Madrid target

Jose Mourinho wants more football to his midfield and is already thinking about next season. He is very happy with his trident attack (118 goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain and Benzema), but considers that the area of ​​creation is very subject to the up and downs of Özil. With Kaka little or nothing he can expect . In fact, some in the white club believe the Brazilian player will end transferred to PSG. So Mourinho is exploring the market and a player shines to fulfill this mission: David Silva.

David Silva

As has been known, Portuguese coach likes the Manchester City midfielder. David Silva is an international player always in the lists of Vicente del Bosque, the Spanish national coach. Besides, Mourinho has assessed his progress in the Premiership, where this year has definitely 'exploited' as the great player he is.

In fact, in the immediate family of Silva, few days ago, there was a call from a person who on behalf of Real Madrid asked if the player would be willing to face negotiations between the two clubs to try his signing. Do not forget that the institutional relations between Real Madrid and Manchester City are superb, so much so that last year the white club knew before Atletico Madrid the final decision of Kun Agüero to accept the proposal of the current champions of the Premier.

The striking part is that two seasons ago Silva could sign for Real Madrid but that possibility was stopped short by Mourinho himself. It was the summer of 2010. Real Madrid had already begun negotiations with Valencia to sign the international player. But Mourinho arrived and in his agenda had other priorities; A left-end, Di Maria, an expert central defender, Carvalho, a strong midfielder, Khedira, and a playmaker, who was Özil because of the great World Cup he made ​​in South Africa and the good price (15 million euros).

But Mourinho has seen his footballistic evolution of in the Premier. David Silva, 26 years old, has established as a technical player with great vision of the game and also strong character. His signing for Real Madrid would bring more pressure to Özil, The German player has relaxed several times this season and has not played his best. Silva, who has been vacationing in Arguineguin (Gran Canaria), is waiting for news. Today will be in Madrid, but only to join the Spanish national team.

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

Ricardo Kaka playing for Real Madrid

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.

Real Madrid negotiates the transfer of Lukasz Piszczek

Strengthen the right back side remains a priority for the Real Madrid for next season and has started the naming dances. The choice seems to be the Polish Lukasz Piszczek (Czechowice-Dziedzice, June 3, 1985), Borussia Dortmund defender. In fact, for weeks Real Madrid has talked with Borussia Dortmund about the transfer of the player and the price could be around 10 million euros.

Lukasz Piszczek

Piszczek, 26, fits perfectly into the profile of long-haul right back that Mourinho wants to share the place with Arbeloa. The Polish is a fast player, aggressive, strong in the air (1.86 meters) and with a clear tendency offensive. On the other hand, Piszczek is weaker on tactics because he was converted form midfielder. In fact this is his second season serving as right back. If he finally signs for Real Madrid will be reunited with his former teammate Nuri Sahin.

Piszczek will be starter with Poland at Euro next summer, in which his country will act as host with Ukraine. It will be a good test to check the performance of the right back of the Bundesliga champion in a major international event. Lukasz Piszczek who has played six times with his national team, played for Poland a few minutes during the Euro in Austria and Switzerland, but this time he will take a more important role.

Besides reinforcing the demarcation of the right back, Real Madrid also works to improve the defensive line by signing a central defender, since, with the sure departure of Carvalho and possible of Albiol, Mourinho would be in that position only with Pepe, Ramos and Varane.

Jose Mourinho wants a right back

Mourinho wants to fit in, definitely, all the pieces in what will be his third season as head of Real Madrid. For this, he gives priority to the signing of a good right back, a player who could play on the right side of the defense and alternate the place with Arbeloa.

Alvaro Arbeloa

This season has been shown that in this position there is a deficit. The Portuguese coach has already used up to eight players in the right wing. He began with Sergio Ramos as a starter, but Carvalho's injury caused the Seville player to settle in the position of central defender. Earlier in the preseason, Mourinho tried with Varane. The Frenchman played against Hertha Berlin in what was an experiment to see what performance could offer this young player like '2'. He did not take over this demarcation. Raphael Varane is considered a pure central defender.

Raul Albiol has been the ultimate test. He played in Granada, moved to the right side and with little influence in this very specific zone of the field.There have been more players who have held this place, even though Arbeloa has been starter for the Portuguese coach, benefiting from the relocation of Sergio Ramos.

Fabio Coentrao was chosen for the match Real Madrid against Barcelona at the Bernabeu in the league. Against Guardiola's team have also played on the right side Lass and Altintop in the Cup matches. A total of eight players for a position. Mourinho now wants to close the circle with a new recruit who will have to take a leap of quality to allow the team to continue growing.

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.

Liga 2011-2012: A championship without signings

Real Madrid recovered the throne league with little input from the five new faces who came to the team 10 months ago. Coentrao, Callejon,Varane, let alone Sahin and Altintop, have not had a main role in the winning of the Spanish league. In fact, them have just played 16% of the minutes in the regular tournament.

Coentrao, Callejon, Sahin, Altintop and Varane

Who has played most, of the signings, has been Fabio Coentrao. The Portuguese has even been a starter in key games of the season; San Mames, Vicente Calderon and Camp Nou. Three important wins for the championship. However, Marcelo has been above him all season, although Mourinho has chosen his compatriot in difficult games at home by offering more reliable defense.

Callejon never won a place at the starting lineup, although he worked and deserved it for moments scoring goals in all competitions. However, at key moments, rarely was chosen for playing with the starters, except in the Sanchez Pizjuan (against Sevilla), where he also scored, and San Mames.

Varane, such as signing for the future, has appeared in placid afternoons to gain experience. Is expected to continue growing. In the last positions of minutes and prominence are the two Turkish, Nuri Sahin and Hamit Altintop. Both got injured and never won the confidence of the Real Madrid manager. In short, the team earned the league without signings.

Fabio COENTRAO. Coentrao has played almost half of the League. Discussed by the fans and protected by Mourinho until the episode of cigarette, the Portuguese always lived with the slab of the 30 million euro of his transfer.

Jose CALLEJON. 'Mourinho Man' came demanded by the coach, the former youth squad player has been the first among the substitutes. His goal in Mallorca won three key points, but has started only four games.

Nuri SAHIN. 90 minutes are an utopia for Sahin. Nuri's performance was inversely proportional to the expectations that were placed in the left-handed midfielder. He injured in summer in his left knee and had no continuity and rhythm when played. Disappointing.

Hamit ALTINTOP. He has a lot to change so that its history in Real Madrid is not as absent as usual. The Turkish came injured on the back, just after a surgery. When he wanted to join the group dynamics, Mourinho did not see the adequate level to displace any of the starters. He only played as a starter in a game at the Bernabeu against Zaragoza. He scored a goal in the 2-6 of the Sanchez Pizjuan.

Raphael VARANE. He came recommended by Zidane and has completed his adaptation. He is only 19 years old and looks like a great footballer. Composure, character, personality, passing game, good ball game. However, he has not enjoyed many minutes. He played six games home and scored a goal against Rayo.

Jose Mourinho negotiates with Ibrahimovic

According to Spanish media information, Jose Mourinho is planning an astonishing signing for the next season. This is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The arrival of Milan striker also could be used to find a way out of Kaka and Higuain, two players who now have foot and a half off the team.

Jose Mourinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The report said that Mourinho called the Swedish to ask for his willingness to leave the Calcio and land at the Bernabeu stadium. It is not easy to come by, but the Portuguese has already taken the first steps to achieve it. Five weeks ago, Mourinho took the phone and called Zlatan Ibrahimovic (30). The message was direct: "Do you want to come to Real Madrid? If so, get ready. I will try." Player's answer was yes, so the Portuguese confirmed that he will try his signing. A very difficult task in any case.

Milan would only let him leave, he is the big star of the team, in exchange for a white player in the squad. Here lies the importance of Higuain and Kaka, the two problems that Florentino Perez has on the table based on this information. Either would be viewed favorably by the Italian side.

Ibrahimovic played for Mourinho at Inter Milan in the 2008-2009 season, in which the performance of 'Ibracadabra' was exceptional: 47 games and 29 goals. Since then, the admiration was mutual, and they have maintained contact, something they have never hidden and could facilitate the operation.

Mino Raiola, player's agent, has become the strongman of the board of Milan at the time of the negotiations for the signings and exits of players, which could facilitate the transaction. Ibrahimovic is the top scorer of the Italian championship, a title that already achieved with Mourinho's Inter, signing his best year in the seven seasons has been in Italy, defending the shirts of Juventus, Inter and Milan now. The Swedish has been voted the best player in Italy in 2008, 2009 and 2011.

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.

Lucas Moura: Next Real Madrid target

New informations relate again Lucas Moura, midfielder and Sao Paulo's star, other pearl of Brazil after Neymar, with Real Madrid.
