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."

Ronalodo Welcomed, Forgiven

Cristiano Ronaldo is back, seemingly in good form. And he was welcomed like a hero as Manchester United and Chelsea took the field and he started in the bench.

His disapproving plan to get a record-breaking transfer deal to Real Madrid over the summer certainly disappointed, and even disgusted, Manchester United fans. But as his position on the matter was stamped down, resulting in him staying in Manchester United, there have been some grumbles as to whether he will be welcomed with open arms.

It seems that everything is going according to his thoughts, though. He had stated that his fans will still be loyal to him. And he wasn't wrong.

From Mail Online:

I’m already in the history of the club. When I play the fans will love me again.

No way do I see myself in the shirt of another Manchester team. [when asked about a move to Manchester City with a price of £135 million] I didn’t realise I was worth that much!

With this Golden Boot I have changed football a little. [about winning the Golden Boot for his incredible 42 goals] Usually strikers won it and I’m a winger. I have been the most consistent and the best.

Ronaldo Stays In United

After a long controversy on whether or not Cristiano Ronaldo will stay with Manchester United or part from his team, the Portuguese star has finally made a decision: he's staying. It seems his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has managed to convince him that staying in United is the best thing for him right now.

Despite this, Ronaldo is still keen on playing for Real Madrid, and might only be staying in Manhcester United for just another season.

From Daily Mail Online UK:

Ronaldo said: 'Sir Alex Ferguson heard my reasons, I heard his and we have an agreement that the best for both parties would be if I stay. Therefore, I can confirm that next season I will play in Manchester United.

'For a while, my desire was that Manchester would accept Real Madrid's bid. To say the opposite would be cheating people and my own conscience.'
