Serie A

Galliani Drops Kaka Hint

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has hinted that the Serie A club could look to bring Kaka back to the San Siro.

Kaka has struggled to live up to the £50.7 million transfer fee paid to AC Milan by Real Madrid for his services in 2009.

The Brazilian has regularly been linked with a return to Milan, and this week Madrid assistant Aitor Karanka appeared to indicate that the playmaker’s future is uncertain.

“Kaka and the club are working to find a solution that is good for both parties,” Karanka said after Kaka was left out of Real’s friendly against Oviedo.

Speaking on Wednesday, Galliani told Gazzetta dello Sport:

“Some loves never end, they may go away for a long time, but they always return.”

Kaka made 17 starts for Real Madrid in La Liga last season, scoring five goals and managing seven assists.

The signing of Kaka will appease the Milan fans who are furious at the sale of Silva and Ibra to PSG. The big question though is whether Kaka can help Milan on the pitch? His chronic knee injuries have ribbed him of the fitness and speed that made him the best player in the world. Can Kaka regain the heights of his previous stay in Milan, or will he be a shadow of the player that Milan fans fell in love with?
