Rossoneri Round-up for 13 August: Kaka says that his bond with Milan is even tighter than before

Kaka said he was “open” to a role at Milan, now that Leonardo and Paolo Maldini are at the club.

Kaka was quoted by Football-Italia speaking to UOL from Brazil as saying:

My rapport with Milan has always been very close and now with the return to Leo and Maldini, figures I played with and have a good relationship with to this day, my bond with the club is even tighter.

My priority is to remain in Brazil with my children, but the doors are always open and I could see how the world of a director of sport works.

I wouldn’t necessarily have to remain in Italy or have particular responsibilities. It’d be more getting to understand the market
