Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho
has raised the prospect of underperforming Brazil playmaker Kaka
leaving the Spanish champions in the close-season.
The 2007 World Player of the Year joined Real from AC Milan
for a fee of around 65 million euros three
years ago but has mainly played second fiddle to German
international Mesut Ozil this term.
The 30-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance but had a
miserable end to his Champions League campaign last month when
he had a penalty saved in the semi-final shootout against Bayern
Munich as Real crashed out to the Bundesliga side.
"I cannot even guarantee that I will be here," Mourinho told
a news conference when asked about Kaka, who has been linked in
the media with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 club
coached by his former boss at Milan Carlo Ancelotti.
"I am grateful to all the players for their contribution,"
Mourinho added.
"He [Kaka] has played very good matches, others less good
and others in which neither he nor I have come away satisfied.
"They have all participated in the league title and my way
of thanking them is that all are welcome next season.
"But if one thinks that it is better not to stay and he is
more interested in another project we will look at it.
"They also make their decisions and we will listen to those
that have something else in their heads."
