The Brazil international has been plagued with injury since his move to Madrid from AC Milan in 2009, and reports have suggested that the 30-year-old will leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
PSG are a club believed to be interested in Kaká’s services, and Leonardo admits that he still rates his compatriot highly.
”Kaká is surely a great player, with enormous potential. But he has suffered severe injuries, which damaged him. He is at a very competitive club, in which everything happens very fast. But he has not lost the hunger for the game,” Leonardo told O Estado de São Paulo.
”I am very close to Kaká since the start of his career. He is an extraordinary player, even when he is not at 100 percent. But we have not begun signing new players yet.”
Kaká’s contract with Real Madrid runs until 2015.
