Galaxy eyes Kaká for the post-Beckham era

There has been talk for some time now of the New York Red Bulls – football team that plays in Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States and Canada– signing Kaká. However, a new pretender intent on scooping up the Brazilian has come to light: Los Angeles Galaxy.
In an interview with the American magazine 'Sports Illustrated', Tim Leiweke, the president of the Anschutz Entertainment Group and current owner of the Galaxy franchise, revealed that Kaká is on the Californian team's radar to replace David Beckham. The Brit recently announced that he will step down from MLS after the final to be played today, Saturday, against Houston Dynamo.
As occurred in 2007, when he managed to sign Beckham, Leiweke is confident he can reach an agreement with Real Madrid to sign one its stars.
"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", said Leiweke. He went on to say: "We have a great relationship with Real Madrid, and just as we worked through a player with them six years ago [to sign Beckham], I'm absolutely convinced we could find the right deal this time too".
Kaká, aged 30, would be the first Ballon d'Or winner to play in MLS.
