The much anticipated official announcement of Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite (Kaka) to Real Madrid from AC Milan is finally here. All the reports were correct. A world record fee of €68 million indicates that Florentino Perez has broken the World record transfer fee for a third time (Figo, Zidane, Kaka), and we may see a fourth before the end of the month (Cristiano Ronaldo).
I know several Milanistas who were in denial about the whole transfer; Claiming it was impossible and Kaka loves AC Milan too much. Something we’ve heard so many times before (e.g.: Figo, Beckham). It proves that either players love money, or simply live to see the day they will wear the royal white shirt of the greatest sports team on the planet. The latter is a more realistic scenario.
Welcome Kaka!
In Euro terms, Zidane was more expensive than Kaka.
If you go by the then and current rates of the pound though, Kaka is more expensive.
Kaka is very good. Check out what he did for Brasil in world cup play. Bobby gee Check out my blog http://bobbygee.wordpress.com/
