Brazilian playmaker Kaka has had his contract with AC Milan terminated by mutual consent, reports BBC Sport. The 32-year-old is set to join Major League Soccer side Orlando City in January 2015 but could play for Brazil side Sao Paulo on loan before the MLS season starts.
He had one year left on his contract but activated a release clause after Milan failed to qualify for Europe.
A Milan statement said: "Certain loves never end, they go in big circles when a contract is mutually terminated.
"The key word is mutual. Ciao Ricky (Kaka), we will never leave each other."
