Real Madrid midfield maestro Kaka has admitted that it was necessary for AC Milan to sell him in the last offseason.

The Brazil international is living the life at the Bernabeu and Kaka claimed that it was Milan who were eager to offload the former Ballon d'Or winner.

"My sale was necessary for the club. I always left it up to the club in terms of whether to sell me or not," Kaka told Sky Sport Italia.

"When I returned to Milanello, all the fans cheered me, shouting my name. They understood the reason as to why I left. In the end, the truth always comes out."

Real Madrid will host the Rossoneri on October 21 when they clash in the Champions League.
