saying he wants to help Brazil try to win its first Olympic gold in soccer, but he would need to be released by his Italian club.

Even if released by Milan, the 26-year-old Kaka must be summoned by Brazil coach Dunga as one of three players over 23 years old allowed to supplement each squad.

He was young enough to play in the 2004 Olympics in Athens, but Brazil failed to qualify. Kaka was not released by Milan to play South America's qualifying event for the 2004 Olympics.
He will be 30 years old for the 2012 London Olympics.
