KAKA could be heading to Manchester United in a shock loan deal this month which could lead to a permanent £50million move.
The Brazilian superstar midfielder has been heavily linked to a move to Inter Milan – with Real Madrid wanting £50m.
Chelsea, too, are seriously interested in grabbing the playmaker who has now fully recovered from an ankle injury after surgery.
The link has already been established with Kaka, 28, winning a Champions League trophy with Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti when they worked together at AC Milan.
But United, according to reports in Spain, have now emerged as clear favourites with Real boss Jose Mourinho happy to do business with his old sparring partner Sir Alex Ferguson.
Mourinho would prefer sending Kaka to United rather than his previous club Inter.
Ferguson has insisted he will not be buying in the transfer window but a loan deal for Kaka would be the perfect solution.
He is working tirelessly to find a loan club for striker Federico Macheda and Kaka would be a perfect foil to his strike force of Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov.
Mourinho has made it clear that he doesn’t find Kaka suitable to his style of play and is desperate to offload a superstar who was on Manchester City’s radar before he rejected them.
And Madrid general director Jorge Valdano has backed his manager’s decision by declaring that Kaka, who arrived in a massive £56m deal in June 2009, can leave the club.
Valdano would love to bank the £50m Kaka fee but at the same time he has no problem in releasing the Brazil star until the end of the season.
