Kaka Transfers to Real Madrid

I dreaded making this post. I love Kaka, and I like AC Milan. Both of them together was a really great combination for me. But soccer can really bring you down when it comes to their financial stakes. I hate how money revolves in this world.

Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid was finalized last week. After so many rumors about Manchester City and Chelsea hounding the Brazilian star, it's Real Madrid who gets the upper hand. I guess Real Madrid was the right choice. It's definitely one of the most prestigious clubs in the world of soccer, so Kaka made a good decision on which club to transfer.

The transfer was worth £56million, and Kaka's salary has now gone up to £200,000 a week over the six years of his contract. Real Madrid is currently planning to sign in more players from other clubs, one of them Cristiano Ronaldo (who I suppose will be expecting a higher sales figure for his potential transfer).

Kaka has expressed has cleared up some rumors after publicly announcing his transfer. He has expressed his wish to stay in AC Milan, but has to consider the financial situation of the club. He has also asked some friends for advice, among which is David Beckham, who told him that joining Real Madrid is a good choice to further strengthen his career.

from Mail Online:

"I wanted to stay but the world crisis affected my decision. I knew I’d only leave Milan to play for Real. I spoke with the Milan directors and we reached the conclusion that the best thing for everybody would be to sell."


"I've been weighing up the offer from Real Madrid a lot. It's an important project for me to continue growing in my career. I'm not going to Real Madrid for money, as I had other offers. But I knew I would only leave Milan to play for Real Madrid.

Only small details were missing, such as the medical exams I passed this morning. The deal was sealed long time ago."

Kaka Stays Put In AC Milan

Despite rumored deals of an £80-million transfer to Chelsea, another rumored transfer is hit on the Brazilian world player of the year. Kaka is said to have been offered a transfer to Manchester City! Hmm.. If you think about Ronaldo and Kaka in one team, it would probably be splendid. But Kaka has dismissed any claims of moving to another team.

From Mail Online:

Before it was Real Madrid, now it's England that is in fashion. The market is like that, just as Milan make offers other clubs make offers to Milan.

But I will never ask to leave. I have always been treated well by (club) executives and my rapport is excellent. Perhaps one day they (club executives) may change their approach with respect to me but I don't see that happening.

I will only leave if Milan decide to sell me or perhaps on the day when we no longer have the same objectives and that day has not come. Milan has done a good job in the transfer market, the club still wants to win and be competitive and those are my aims.

Kaka To Transfer To Chelsea?

Just last month, there were speculations of Chelsea's Roman Abramovich making a bid for AC Milan playmaker Kaka. And just last month, Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon claimed they did not make an offer for the Brazilain midfielder --- and that it is unlikely.

Recently, however, Kaka's agent has stated that the clubs are indeed talking about a transfer. There are no decisions yet. While Kaka's agent is willing to talk, Kaka himself has not stated anyything about the rumored transfer.

Kaka: FIFA World Player of the Year 2007

Here's a look back at the FIFA World Player Gala 2007 at the Zurich Opera House, Switzerland, where the FIFA World Player of the Year 2007 was chosen.

The date was December 17, 2007. Kaka emerged victorious over nominees Lionel Messi of Argentina and Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal.

Here's a picture of the three: Kaka as the winner, Messi in second place, and C. Ronaldo in third.


Got to hand it to Messi. He's shorter and has a lighter build than Kaka and Ronaldo but he's a fighter in the field.

So Far.. for Kaka

No major news on Kaka these days. The latest we heard is how he became a father 2 months ago. June 10, to be exact. He and his wife Caroline welcomed their newborn Luca Celico Leite.
