Will Kaka Succeed With Real Madrid?

Brazil­ian star Kaka joined Los Galac­ti­cos from Milan prior to the start of the sea­son in a stag­ger­ing €68 mil­lion deal with is astro­nom­i­cal by all means. Real Madrid did pay more for Cris­tiano Ronaldo but that does not change the tremen­dous amount spent by Los Galac­ti­cos to acquire the ser­vices of the San Siro icon.

At one point this sea­son, Kaka admit­ted he was relieved Ronaldo was signed for a higher fee as he was strug­gling to adjust to Spain’s la Liga. The Brazil­ian has still not hit stride and he seems to be hav­ing some dif­fi­culty blend­ing in with the rest of the squad on the pitch. While with Milan he was at the ful­crum of the club’s attack­ing moves and he did not shy away from lead­ing the club to glory in the Cham­pi­ons League in 2007. Kaka has won every major tro­phy avail­able for foot­ball player and at 27-years-old he still has sev­eral years left in his tank.

Unfor­tu­nately for the tal­ented player his move to Madrid has not met the expec­ta­tions of the club and sup­port­ers. There were rumours link­ing him with a move back to Italy to Serie A’s fallen giants Juven­tus dur­ing the pre­vi­ous week and prior to that spec­u­la­tion landed him a poten­tially shock­ing return to Milanello.

He has scored three times in 14 appear­ances in la Liga as Los Galac­ti­cos trail Barcelona in la Liga stand­ings while he did not fea­ture in the failed Copa del Rey cam­paign. Kaka has the rest of the sea­son to excel in both la Liga and the Cham­pi­ons League but the ques­tion remains whether he is com­fort­able play­ing for the club or if he would pre­fer a move away from Madrid? It is unlikely the Brazil­ian will admit he is unhappy or seek­ing a move because it will be seen as a fail­ure. Only time will tell what Kaka’s next move will be.
