Kaka to leave Real this summer

It looks increasingly likely that Kaká will leave Real Madrid this summer as the club now considers that keeping him just isn't feasible. In past years, Madrid always had a straw to clutch at or a faint hope that the attacking midfielder would rediscover his form. However, this year it appears that Kaká has permanently lost his place in Ancelotti's new project at the Bernabeu.

In any case, the Italian will have the final word whether Kaká stays or not. If he - who already coached the midfielder at AC Milan and could become his saviour at Madrid - tells him that he is surplus to requirements, the 2007 Ballon d'Or winner will pack his bags and move on. The Brazilian faces increased competition for his place, even more so with Isco's arrival at the club.

Isco's move to the Bernabeu, Jesé's promotion to the first team and Gareth Bale's possible arrival would see the Brazilian midfielder pushed even further down the pecking order at Madrid.

That said, Kaká will only leave if Carlo Ancelotti sits down with him and tells him that he does not figure in his plans, and if the club lets him leave for nothing. He was close to leaving last summer, but Madrid blocked any potential deal by demanding a prohibitive transfer fee of over €20m. This time around, Kaká will ask to leave for free.
