Real Madrid midfielder Kaka has maintained that he wants to stay with the Spanish giants next season and is not thinking about playing in either England or Italy.

The Brazilian joined Real Madrid in 2009 for a then world record £59.8 million but has not been a regular starter.

Rumours have circulated that he could leave in the summer, either to Chelsea – to reunite with former manager Carlo Ancelotti – or back to Italy, where he was such a dominant force with AC Milan.

However, the man himself has stressed his desire to stay in the Spanish capital, despite the fact that his mother is moving to England next year.

“I want to stay in Real Madrid and I want to play for Real Madrid,” he told Goal.com at the launch of the new adiPower Predator boot.

“My mother is coming to live in London next year. She is a preacher and she is coming to talk about God.

“But I have a challenge in Real Madrid. I don’t want to think now about playing in the Premier League or going back to Italy.

“I want to get back in good shape and play for Real Madrid next season.

“I have had a bad two years, I can say that. But now we have won a cup and got to the semi-final of the Champions League.”

The Brazilian was the subject of a massive bid from Manchester City in January 2009, but Kaka maintains that he never considered joining the club.

“I refused Manchester City because it was the middle of the season and I always said that I wanted to go to Madrid if I left Milan,” he said.

Likewise, on the subject of a rumoured move to Chelsea, Kaka was dismissive about linking up with former boss Ancelotti.

“I have a good relationship with Carlo but the truth is that I want to stay in Madrid, I want to play in Madrid and I want to live in Madrid,” he explained.
