Real Madrid chairman Ramon Calderon has surprised the press
with claims that Kaka would struggle to make the first team at the
Bernabeu. The Milan star was handed the Fifa Player of the Year
award on Monday in addition to his European Footballer of the Year
honour but Calderon, who promised to sign Kaka before being elected
president of Real last year, believes it would be hard to improve
the Spanish club at the moment.
"The [Real] team is very complete and it would be difficult to make
it better," Calderon told a Madrid radio station. "I might appear
arrogant but Kaka would perhaps not have a place in the current
Real Madrid team."
His statement has been put down to the "euphoria" ahead of Real's
match with arch-rivals Barcelona on Sunday by Spanish newspapers.
They are currently four points clear of Barca at the top of the
table.
Brazilian Kaka has starred in Milan's run to the UEFA Champions
League title, the European Super Cup and the recent Club World Cup.
The 25-year-old is expected to extend his contract with Milan until
2012 or 2013 according to reports.
