Allegri eager to bring Kaka back to Milan

The Brazil international enjoyed a magnificent spell with the Serie A club between 2003 and 2009, picking up both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards.

Milan picked up one Serie A title and lifted the UEFA Champions League with Kaka at the heart of their attack, before a then-world-record move to Real Madrid.

"Kaka would make the team stronger because he has great quality and is also a player we could do with. Having champions in the side is always a bonus," he said.

"His arrival would boost the confidence of the team and the fans. I am confident the club, Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani have every intention of keeping Milan at the top level.

"In tactical terms, Kaka could play as a trequartista in this side, or as one of the two who flow around the centre-forward."
