The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) issued a statement that said that the 27-year-old was examined in Recife, where Brazil face Paraguay in a World Cup qualifier on Wednesday.

Spanish media are speculating Kaka will join Madrid in a 65million euro deal, where he will become the first of the new wave of 'galacticos' brought together under the leadership of returning club president Florentino Perez.

A statement on the Brazilian Football Federation website read: "The technical committee of the Brazilian national team attended the request of Kaka and the board of Real Madrid and released the player to perform the routine examinations in a clinic in Recife.

"The CBF had to make all the arrangements for the test through its Medical Department head Jose Luiz Runco, who accompanied the player during the tests."

The CBF later confirmed Kaka had returned to the hotel after his medical and would join up with his Brazilian team-mates for training later in the afternoon.

There are also plans for the player to hold a press conference at 2100 local time (0100 BST Tuesday 9 June).
