Kaka in exchange for Maicon

Jose Mourinho could get this summer the player for who he fought last season and finally could not get. This is the Brazilian Maicon. According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the Portuguese would have had a telephone conversation with Leonardo (Inter Milan coach) in which would have addressed the possible exchange of the side defender for Kaka. According to Italian newspaper, the Inter Milan president, Massimo Moratti, is not yet convinced of this plan, although the idea of ​​having the next season Kaka wearing the 'neroazzurri' shirt is something that seduces him a lot.

In any case, this information contradicts the news that to date had occurred on the continuity of Kaka at Real Madrid. The Brazilian has repeated several times that all he thinks about is to stay at Real Madrid and win in white, and as was said in the Spanish press, the player would have convinced Mourinho, who had not so clear that the midfielder would continue.

Board's confidence in the quality and possibilities of Kaka also help for his continuity. What's more, many times the former Milan player has made clear his love for the 'rossoneri', so that is at least doubtful that his move feels good to the fans of arch-rivals.

Neither Inter Milan is the first team that is interested in the Brazilian player, nor it is the first time this idea is conceived. Last January was talked about the possibility, but got nowhere. Although his performance has been so hobbled by injuries, Kaka remains a highly coveted piece of the biggest clubs in Europe, like Milan (Berlusconi talked about this) or Chelsea, in process of reconstruction, would have been interested on him in recent months.

In the same way, the Italian daily newspaper 'La Repubblica' also talks about the interest from Inter and Real Madrid to exchange these players. It says that Florentino Perez thinks that Kaka has a price of 40 million euros, while Inter thinks that Maicon is half, 20 million. "The operation (to buy Kaka) can be closed with Maicon and 20 million", said 'La Repubblica', which states that the last word in this deal lies with the Brazilian striker.
