According to Spanish publication AS, Mourinho did not want Kaka at the club but would only allow him to leave if he joined a club in China or Russia.

It goes on to reveal that both AC Milan and Manchester United attempted to secure the Brazilian’s services but Chelsea’s new manager blocked both moves.

The report claims that Mourinho did not want to risk Kaka succeeding at another big European club in case he succeeded and the Portuguese’s judgement would be questioned.

However, Kaka was told he was more than welcome to leave for a lucrative deal in one of the world’s less prestigious leagues.

It then goes on to say the 31-year-old refused to make a big-money move in the hope he could re-establish himself at a top European side to have a chance of the getting back into the Brazil team for the 2014 World Cup.

You're trusting the Spanish media? The same media who have been bashing him ever since he came to Spain and still try to make him look bad until now by saying Luiz and Mata will be sold? I call bullshit.

Mourinho is an Interista at heart. He couldn't stand having a former Ac. Milan player in his team.

The sight of Kaka made him ill. lol

@Wolfie

If Mourinho was such an "Interista" at heart, why did he ditch them for Madrid? ;)

No no, Mourinho is at heart, a ridiculously competitive man. His favorite team was not Porto, or Inter, and definitely not Madrid. His favorite team is Chelsea. He isn't stupid. He'll use good players when he has them, as long as they don't have attitude issues. He used Kaka whenever he could, and Kaka never had any problems with Mourinho either. Mourinho liked Kaka, and encouraged him to go back on loan to AC Milan, where he was the best player in the world. Mourinho would not do something as ridiculous as forcing Kaka to go to China or Russia.

This is just a case of the Spanish media hating on Mourinho. :P

I bet this is true. It sounds Mourinho like.

He is an Interista, yes. The bit about not liking Kaka because he played for Milan was just a joke. Apologies if you didn't catch that.. xD

He won the Treble and wanted a new challenge. He had offers from Madrid before but turned them down twice. He left the club in the best possession possible. It's the fault of Moratti for not building on that team and not hiring a competent coach.

At real he tried in vain to get the 10th cl for you guys. Too many individuals and no team cohesion. That's why he's style of man managing was not effective. You could see it on his face that he wasn't enjoying his time in Spain.

Mourinho has got two great loves, Chelsea and Inter. He said it numerous times when being interviewed.

I call bullshi.t on this... :p

Mourinho only loves himself. That's why I can't stand him. And this Kaka story is probably bs, not even Mourinho would do such a thing. Or would he ?

If Benz won his place, when he was criticized by Mou. Kaka could do the same, but he didn't. could Milan or Man UTD bid 60M FOR kAKA at that time ? NO, Problem solved.

@KingHenry: Mourinho does not love himself. People just make that theory up because of his arrogance. Mourinho, no matter what, puts the club he manages above everything/everyone.

^ Just because he is your manager now doesn't mean you need to get all touchy about it and start supporting him all of a sudden.

@rama

He's not "supporting him all of a sudden". As far as I'm concerned, Vendetta always showed affection and respect for Mourinho, and wanted him back at Chelsea. As I recall, he won their first English title in 50 years when he first went there...

@ramaboy: 99% of all Chelsea supporters love Mourinho..

@juanmata another reason to not like him then.

@KingHenry: Let the matches do the talking.

@KingHenry

Don't be jealous. Mourinho's won 20 titles in 11 years, to Wenger's 15 trophies in 26 years... ;)
As far as I'm concerned, Chelsea have the better manager at the moment. :)

I think both are amazing managers with different styles. So as I have said 2 days ago in this thread, let the matches do the talking.
