Kaka

The former Real Madrid and AC Milan player, Kaka delivered a message early this month August that "he has given all year" when he was asked about his future beyond this season and if he is going to sign a new contract with the American side.

“Yea, that’s the number one idea,” Kaka, uttered in Spanish to a horde of media after a training session. “The principal thing is to continue here, play on for Orlando, and I will continue thinking this year about what we can do to achieve more.”

Brazilian football star Kaka is backing his compatriot Neymar to make the best career move amid reports that French side Paris St Germain want to lure the player from the Nou Camp.

The former Brazil international admits that Neymar faces a tough task in deciding his next move when he exits Barcelona.

The Ligue 1 side are keen on meeting the outrageous €222 million release clause Neymar has on his deal. Head coach Unai Emery, who joined from former Europa League champions Sevilla, identified the player as one that could help him deliver his Champions League target.

Ricardo Kaka has a contract with the MLS side Orlando City which extends until December of 2017 which is only a few months away. The question that is beginning to emerge is surrounding the future of the Brazilian player as to which club will he join when that time arrives.

Ever since Kaka joined Orlando City back on 2014, the Brazilian player has been a regular starter. Despite being 35 years old, he is one of the more influential performers in the MLS outfit.

Brazil have had some truly phenomenal players over the years. From that Carlos Alberto goal in the 1970 World Cup final to Ronaldinho’s dazzling feet in more recent times, the five-time World Cup winners have been blessed with quality. Football in Brazil isn’t just a sport, it is a religion and nobody personifies Brazilian football more than Kaka.

At the ripe old age of 35, Kaka is still performing at a high level. Although he is now plying his trade in the United States, Major League Soccer is improving on a yearly basis and some of the biggest names in the sport have moved to the division in the past decade. Orlando City will feel blessed to have somebody of Kaka’s experience and quality on their roster.

Orlando City head coach Jason Kreis has insisted that he has had to take a tough decision to leave skipper Kaka owing to recent comeback from an injury.

The Lions played out a 1-1 draw against Seattle Sounders in the midweek Major League Soccer clash, where the field was made of artificial turf. The surface has not gone well with many players worldwide as they feel that there is more risk of getting injuries due to the changes in the flow of the game.

As Orlando City and Chicago Fire clashed in the MLS, Brazilian and German stars in Kaka and Bastian Schweinsteiger showed mutual respect for one another as the game ended in a barren draw.

This was the first time both stars faced off in the league.

Former Real Madrid star Kaka spoke about the Champions League final clash between Madrid and Juventus.

He cheered his former club to go on to lift the title for a record time. As a matured player himself, he added that Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo’s work ethics and discipline would help him continue to churn out results even in his thirties. Kaka also praised his Brazilian counterpart DaniAlves who has seen resurgence at Juventus.

Brazilian soccer star Kaka grabbed a goal in the 2-0 victory of Orlando City over Colorado Rapids in the Major League Soccer.

The former AC Milan and Real Madrid star was sidelined since the new season began due to a hamstring injury.

Official figures from the MLS have confirmed that Kaka is indeed the highest paid player at the major league soccer for a third consecutive campaign.

The Brazilian plays for Orlando City after having completed his move from Real Madrid three years ago. The move straight away placed him as the top earner in the MLS, especially as it coincided with the departure of David Beckham from the division. He was brought in for an extravagant wage figure, which is now at £5.6 million a year or £108,000 per week. This figure places in just above Sebastian Giovinco, whose contract with Toronto pays him £ 5.5 million each year.

The worst was feared for midfielder Kaka when he went down with a serious injury in the season opener against New York City. Orlando City had managed to beat New York City 1-0 in the opening game of the 2017 MLS season, but there was a huge setback for the club in the form of an injury to Kaka.

Scans on the injury have revealed that the Brazilian midfielder will be unavailable for up to 6 weeks. This comes as a major blow for the team, but captain Jonathan Spector is confident about handling the unavailability of the star player.
