Kaka has insisted that Yoann Gourcuff is good enough to establish himself at Milan.

The former Ballon d'Or has hailed Gourcuff, who has blossomed this season with Bordeaux after failing to impose himself during two seasons at the San Siro.

Les Girondins, who are top of the French league on points, second on goal difference, are determined to thrash out terms for the midfielder.

The French playmaker remains under contract with the Rossoneri, and Kaka believes that the 22-year-old would be a great addition to the Italian squad should he return to his parent club.

"I was already aware of his potential," Kaka told Aujourd'hui Sport.

"I do watch his performances and am very happy with what he is achieving with Bordeaux.

"He is having a great season, scoring many goals and playing for France, which is huge news. I understand that his second year in Milan was tough. He was made to struggle.

"If he were to return, he would not be the same. He has put on weight."

When asked if Gourcuff's return to Milan would be a good thing for the club, Kaka said: "He already belongs to Milan!"
