Los Angeles Galaxy chief admits Kaka interest

The owner of Los Angeles Galaxy has admitted that the club would be interested in signing Real Madrid playmaker Kaka.

The MLS franchise are currently looking for their next marquee acquisition ahead of David Beckham's departure on Saturday.

Kaka, who was voted FIFA World Player of the Year in 2007, has been linked with a move away from Madrid following a limited number of appearances under coach Jose Mourinho.

"We're well aware of Kaka's interest in MLS, and we in turn have made it very clear to him that he's aware of our interest in him," Tim Leiweke told Sports Illustrated.

"We have a great relationship with Real Madrid, and just as we worked through a player with them six years ago, I'm absolutely convinced we could find the right deal this time, too."

The Galaxy will be looking to win their second consecutive MLS Cup when they face Houston Dynamo on Saturday night.
