Kaka completes move to Real Madrid
Real Madrid have completed the signing of Kaka from AC Milan on a six-year contract.
The Spanish giants confirmed the eagerly-awaited capture of the 27-year-old Brazilian superstar in a brief statement on their website late on Monday night.
Kaka, currently on international duty with Brazil in his homeland, underwent a medical in Recife earlier on Monday before putting pen to paper on a six-year deal.
The transfer fee is expected to be new world record at around £56million, eclipsing the £48million Real paid Juventus for Zinedine Zidane in the summer of 2001.
Kaka is expected to be unveiled at the Santiago Bernabeu towards the end of this month, once he's finished Confederations Cup duty with his country in South Africa.
A statement on the Milan website meanwhile read: "From next season, Kaka will play at Real Madrid.
"AC Milan thanked the man and the great champion Kaka for his decisive contribution to the many victories achieved in the six years of his commitment
"The loss technique, while serious, can be remedied.
"It will be very difficult to fill the void that will be left by Kak, a shining example of professionalism, commitment and professionalism.
"AC Milan, (according to) the wishes of the managers, players and supporters of the Rossoneri, offer him the most cordial and affectionate wishes for the continuation of his sporting career."
Now Real have concluded their first major piece of business this summer, president Florentino Perez is expected to turn his attentions to a concerted bid to prise Cristiano Ronaldo away from Manchester United.
