Orlando City star Kaka says Barcelona ace Neymar is destined to win the Ballon d'Or.

Kaka won the title in 2007 as an AC Milan player.

"Thankfully, Neymar has improved a lot since he's gone to play in Europe - his game is a lot more mature," said Kaka.

"Now it's a matter of time until he reaches first place.

"It had always been a rotation: Ronaldo [Nazário] and Zidane won it three times, but there was always some other player - names like Figo, Ronaldinho, myself, Rivaldo, Cannavaro... Then comes this succession of Cristiano and Messi, only the two of them - and it is fair, for what they have been doing year after year."
