Recent rumours linking Brazilian international playmaker Kaka with a move to Chelsea don’t seem to go away.
The Brazilian cost Real Madrid £55million last summer but he struggled with injuries and never found his top form at the Bernabeu in his La Liga debut season.
Quality
Kaka is of course a talented player. In fact he is one of the best in the world on his day. He has sublimed vision with the ball that very few players have.
He showed his quality at AC Milan for six years and also in his international career with Brazil but recently due to injuries has struggled to showcase his talents.
Point
Although he is rated as one of the best in the world he still has plenty to prove in the Spanish capital. His critics say he has struggled to adapt to life in Spain and even suggested that he could return to Milan with his tail between his legs.
I would say that before anyone can make any judgements he needs to be given a full season in La Liga. He has too much quality in those boots not to make it in Spain. I can guarantee that if Kaka is fully fit next season he will prove a success.
Reports from the Spanish media over the weekend suggested that Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho could sell the Brazilian to raise funds to strengthen his squad. It now looks unlikely that the Brazilian will be leaving. Few clubs could afford his fee and wages and with Chelsea ruled out he should get his chance to impress at Real next season.
Denial
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is a big fan of the Brazilian midfielder after managing him at AC Milan. The Italian also brought him to Europe from Sao Paulo when he was just a youngster. Ancelotti however has denied his club are set to sign the 28 year-old. Ancelotti told Sky Italia: “Kaka cannot come to Chelsea,”
“He was one player of mine and has done so much for Milan, but now he belongs to Real Madrid and he will decide about his future along with his current club. Certainly neither I nor Chelsea will do it (decide his future).”
Other Options
Chelsea are short of midfield options at the moment but if reports are to be believed are more likely to make a move for £12million rated Werder Bremen playmaker Mesut Ozil. The German would prove a much more cost effective signing.
Chelsea are also set to sign Kaka’s international teammate Ramires from Benfica for a fee in the region of £19million. There are some complications with the ownership of the player but all parties are expected to agree a deal in the next week according to reports.
Next Season
For Kaka next season will be all about finding his form and trying to help Real overcome their rivals Barcelona in La Liga. I also believe Jose Mourinho is probably the right man to get the best out of him. He knows how to deal with big egos and big talents. Hopefully next season Kaka will rediscover the form which made him one of the most admired players in the world.
Can Kaka rediscover his form next season?
