Manchester City are monitoring Kaka's situation at Real Madrid closely. The Sunday Mirror says City will try again for Kaka if the Brazilian fails to revive his Real Madrid career after knee surgery.
Brazilian Kaka, 28, is close to full fitness after an operation on his left knee last August.
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti also remains keen on his former AC Milan protege.
Sources in Spain claim City have already made plans to bid for the star if he shows signs of leaving in the summer.
Kaka cost Madrid £56million 18 months ago with president Florentino Perez making him his stellar signing. Six months before he signed for the Spanish giants, City failed with an audacious £100m bid.
