Kaka will leave Real Madrid this summer, according to the president of his former club Sao Paulo - and moving to the Premier League is high on his possibles list.

The Brazil star began his football career at Sao Paulo before moving to AC Milan in 2003 and exploding on the European stage.

Linked with all sorts of moves away, it seemed like he would stay at Milan indefinitely. The closest he has come so far to joining an English club was the infamous failed £100m bid by Manchester City – which then City chief executive Garry Cook claimed had failed because Milan 'bottled it'.

Real Madrid got him out of Italy in the summer of 2009 for a reported £54million, but Kaka's time in Spain has been blighted by injury and loss of form.

Paulo de Jesus Lopes, the president of Sao Paulo who is understood to be in contact with Kaka, is sure that the 30-year-old will quit Madrid this summer.

"Kaka has decided to quit Madrid," he told O Globo in Brazil. "He believes that England or remaining in Spain would be two interesting destinations for him. Sao Paulo can't afford him as his price-tag is astronomical and out of the reality of Brazilian football."

So roll up any Prem clubs in the market for an aged wonderkid, guaranteed to be a shadow of his former self but still mega-money...
