AC Milan's Brazilian playmaker Kaka have been named FIFA World Player 2007, beating fellow nominees Lionel Messi of Barcelona and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

When AC Milan playmaker Kaka quits playing soccer, he will become an evangelical minister.

Ronaldinho and Kaka are going to play for Brazil's national team in a friendly match against Algeria at the end of the month in France. Coach Dunga summoned them and 20 others for the match on Aug. 22 in Montpellier.

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon is still trying to sign Kaka. In March, Calderon compiled a list of players he wanted that included the AC Milan midfielder, Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo and Borussia Dortmund defender Christoph Metzelder.

Most of AC Milan's scoring in the Champions League this season has come from Kaka. The Brazilian leads the competitions with 10 goals - two more than he scored in the Italian league season. In Wednesday's final against Liverpool, Kaka has a chance to match Ruud Van Nistelrooy's tournament record of 12 goals scored in 2002-03.
