Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon, who was in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu from 2006 until 2009, has claimed that head coach Jose Mourinho has not spoken with Kaka in the last four months.
Calderon added that several Spanish players are unhappy with the situation at Los Blancos as well, with former Borussia Dortmund star Nuri Sahin also allegedly having a difficult relationship with the Portuguese coach.
"The players are no longer happy. He [Mourinho] hasn't spoken to Kaka once in the last four months," Calderon said to Ona FM.
"The Spanish players are unhappy with their situation because of the privileges Mourinho gives to the Portuguese players."
He added, "And then there's the situation of Sahin. The reason he doesn't play is because Mourinho doesn't like him."
Real Madrid currently sits top of the Primera Division table, but was beaten by archrivals Barcelona in the first-leg of its Copa del Rey quarterfinal on Wednesday.
