Kaka signed for AC Milan in 2003 from Sao Paulo. In six years at the San Siro, he scored 95 goals and assisted 48 in 270 appearances. He was AC Milan's star playmaker and played a significant role in the club's Champions League successes. His move to Real Madrid in summer 2009 should have been publicized much more, but it was overshadowed by Ronaldo's transfer just a few weeks later.
Unlike Ronaldo, Kaka never settled in Madrid. This was certainly not the Brazilian star's fault. Injuries have kept him out for the majority of the last two seasons. He has recently returned from injury and, since January 2011, has played 20 games (12 starts).
During these games, Kaka showed that he is still an outstanding player. However, it seems that Mourinho and Real Madrid have lost patience in the midfielder, leading to the recent purchases of Nuri Sahin and Hamit Altintop (from Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich respectively). The end may be coming for Kaka and Real Madrid would certainly not be paid anywhere near the $90 million they dispensed just two years ago.
