Laporta would be happier if Kaka stayed

Barcelona chief Joan Laporta claims that Kaka would be better off staying at Milan rather than joining Real Madrid.

There are persistent reports in the Spanish Press that Kaka will sign for La Liga giants Real Madrid this summer.

But the President of Real's rivals Barcelona has urged the Brazilian ace to stay at San Siro.

“I would be happier if Kaka stayed at Milan,” Laporta told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He is a world-class player who would do well anywhere, but I would advise him not to leave Milan because they are a great club.”

Former Barcelona tactician Frank Rijkaard has been tipped to take over the Milan hot seat this summer if Carlo Ancelotti leaves.

“Frank is one of the best Coaches in the world,” Laporta stressed.

“He would do great things at any club, especially at his former side Milan.

“Severing our ties with him was the hardest decision I have made during my tenure and I almost cried when we said our goodbyes.”
