MILAN, May 16 - Cafu and Serginho will leave AC
Milan at the end of the season, the Brazilian full backs said on
Friday.
Last season's European champions are letting the pair go
after deciding to bring in fresh blood following a poor
campaign, with Barcelona defender Gianluca Zambrotta a target.
World Cup winner Cafu, 37, will return to Brazil but is
unsure if he will retire.
"I have had five marvellous years in which I have managed to
win everything," the former AS Roma right back told Milan
Channel.
"The moment has arrived to leave. It is sad and hard but I
knew sooner or later the time would come to go home, to return
to Brazil. I don't know if I'll still play when I'm in Brazil."
Cafu, a reserve this term, is not certain of playing in
Milan's final game of the season at home to Udinese on Sunday.
Fifth-placed Milan will only reach next season's Champions
League qualifiers if they win and Fiorentina slip up at Torino.
Serginho, 36, joined the club in 1999 but has also decided
to return home.
"After a back problem hit me two years ago, I've not been
able to return to my best form, which is why I believe the
moment has come to say goodbye to the team," he said.
Milan captain Paolo Maldini, 39, is expected to stay at the
San Siro for another season with a final decision due soon.
