AC Milan attacker Ricardo Kaka has commented on his immediate future, dispelling rumours that he will be leaving the outfit in the summer.
The Brazilian had a clause in his contract allowing him to quit Milan if the club failed to reach the Champions League.
While the Rossoneri will miss out on Europe’s top competition as they currently sit in eighth with one match remaining, Kaka has dismissed reports he is set for an exit.
“Am I staying at Milan? Yes, yes,” he told Rai3. “I want to remain for another year, but then it’s up to the club to decide.
“I still enjoy playing football. I had physical problems in Madrid and at that moment the pain was stronger than the pleasure.
“In Madrid I learned to have faith, perseverance, patience and much more beyond football. The results weren’t what we expected and it was not easy to deal with the pressure, as it was a situation I wasn’t accustomed to.”
“The World Cup? It’s a shame, as it could’ve been my fourth World Cup, but I am not sad because I know that I did everything possible. [Felipe] Scolari was consistent in his choices.
“I think Brazil are the favourites, followed by Spain, Argentina and Italy. I see the Azzurri as very strong, with great tactical intelligence.”
