Inter Milan have emerged as the favourites to sign Real Madrid star Kaka. According to French news daily L'Equipe, Inter have put together an audacious attempt to land the former AC Milan hero from current club Real Madrid.

The Brazilian midfielder left the Rossoneri in 2009 to join Madrid but his career at the Bernabeu has been dogged by injuries. Madrid manager Jose Mourinho still sees a role for Kaka in his team next season but the L'Equipe report claims he will accept an improved offer from Inter of 40million euros for the player.

Real Madrid midfielder Kaka has said that he is not looking to leave Real Madrid at the moment and wants to stay with the Spanish club.

The 28-year-old is disappointed rumours have persisted linking his ankle, thigh and knee injuries with a desire to leave the club.

"My long injury has been seen as a pretence that I wanted to leave Real Madrid," the former Sao Paulo and AC Milan player told AS. "There is absolutely no truth to this rumour.

"I am very happy here, and I want to recuperate and return to my best, winning a lot of trophies with Real."

Chelsea are interested in signing Real Madrid player Kaka in the summer. They were linked with a move for the Brazilian superstar last month, while there has been speculation that Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is keen to work with Drogba again.

Drogba has lost his place in the Blues starting line-up following the £50 million signing of Fernando Torres from Liverpool and the rumour mill has moved into overdrive in recent days, with the suggestion of a swap deal involving the Ivorian striker and Kaka.

Chelsea are interested in signing Brazil star Kaka for 25-million in the summer. Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich has said that he is ready to cough up 25-million pounds to secure the services of Brazil football star Kaka.

Chelsea believes Kaka's struggle with a long-term knee injury under Jose Mourinho's regime at the Bernabeu this season, means he can be captured for a relatively knockdown fee of 25 million pounds, the Daily Express reports.

Kaka has been omitted from the Brazil squad for the friendly against France. Kaka returned to the Madrid first team earlier this month after seven months on the sidelines following knee surgery, but Menezes has decided the 28-year-old should remain in Spain.

Young star Neymar was also excluded for the match on 9 February in Paris as he is playing at the South American Championship with the Under-20 side in Peru.

José Mourinho has revealed that he is very happy that Kaka is back from injury. Even Mourinho conceded: "There was only one colour in the first half and that was yellow [Villareal]. But the second half was completely white."

The difference was Kaka. After five months out with injury, the Brazilian ace guided the white-shirted Real Madrid to victory. He set up Ronaldo's third goal 11 minutes from time, then scored himself with just three minutes to go for his first goal of the season.

Ronaldo now has 22 goals to his name, four more than Barca's Lionel Messi.

Inter Milan coach Leonardo has said that Kaka will not be joining the club in January contrary to reports.Kaka, the 2007 World Player of the Year, has endured a torrid time since leaving for Spain in 2009 in a deal worth around £56 million.

The 28-year-old struggled for fitness and form in his first season at Real, and has not played at all since the World Cup due to a long-suffered knee injury. He is now back in training.

During his official unveiling at Inter, Leonardo - coach of city rivals Milan last season - played down any chance of the playmaker joining him.

Real Madrid star Kaka is closing in on a return to the first-team action from injury. The Brazil international has been out of action with a knee injury and underwent surgery on the problem back in August.

Real said at the time they expected the former Ballon d'Or and Fifa World Player of the Year winner to return to the first-team reckoning by December. This year the prize went to Lionel Messi instead of Kaka.

Jose Mourinho has said that the return of Kaka would be a major boost the club and would be like a new signing. Mourinho had initially been keen to bolster his attacking options when the window reopened, and there had been suggestions that Kaka - ruled out for four months after undergoing knee surgery in August - could be on his way back to AC Milan or even Inter.

However, Mourinho has now made clear that he expects Kaka to play an important role in the side.

Real Madrid playmaker Kaka has disputed a handball decision which lead to a Raul goal being disallowed in their draw with Sporting Gijon at El Molinon. The incorrect decision cost one punters who had placed a £1000 sports bet online that Kaka would score.

The incident happened towards the end of the game, which finished scoreless and now means that Los Merengues are three points adrift of leaders Barcelona at the top of the Primera Liga table.
