Brazilian playmaker Kaka has signed for Real Madrid from AC Milan in a 65-million-euro deal, Spanish radio station Cadena Ser reported Tuesday.
Newly-installed Real president Florentino Perez sealed the deal with AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and Bosco Leite, Kaka’s father and agent, Cadena Ser said.
Kaka, currently in Brazil with the national team ahead of a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay, will sign up for five years and a salary worth nine million euros a year, it added.
AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi had hinted at Kaka’s departure moments before Cadena Ser had claimed he was indeed moving.
“I do not know if we can keep Kaka at Milan because they (Real) have offered him so much money,” Berlusconi was quoted as saying by Italian press agency Ansa.
You have to take your hat off to Kaka, not once was he influenced by the lure of money. Even the move to Real Madrid he was quoted as saying he didn’t want to leave AC. Thats loyalty from one of the best players in the world, Priceless.
