AC Milan midfielder Kaka has undergone a medical at the request of Real Madrid, the Brazilian Football Federation have confirmed. The 27-year-old is currently on international duty ahead of Brazil's World Cup qualifier against Paraguay on Wednesday but was released for the medical tests in Recife. Spanish media are speculating Kaka will join Madrid in a 65million euro deal, where he will become the first of the new wave of 'galacticos' brought together under the leadership of returning club president Florentino Perez. A statement on the Brazilian Football Federation website read: "The technical committee of the Brazilian national team attended the request of Kaka and the board of Real Madrid and released the player to perform the routine examinations in a clinic in Recife. "The CBF had to make all the arrangements for the test through its Medical Department head Jose Luiz Runco, who accompanied the player during the tests."
