Real Madrid boss Mourinho struggling to find buyers for Kaka, Diarra

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is facing a dilemma over who he can jettison this summer from his title winning squad. Mourinho wants to buy, but needs to also sell to make room for new signings.

Marca says defender Raul Albiol and goalkeeper Antonio Adan want to leave, but Mourinho is reluctant to part with the pair as he values them as squad players.

Of those who can be sold, Kaka, Lassana Diarra and Hamit Altintop are available, but interested clubs are reluctant to match the personal terms they're currently on at Real.

Ricardo Carvalho also can go, though Mourinho has announced he'd like him to stay another year.
