Kaka is a Real Madrid player now!

At Monday night's conference

Kaka, who was signed from AC Milan for £ 59 million, becomes the world’s second most expensive player after Zinedine Zidane. The 27-year-old will don the number 5 jersey, formally on the shoulders of France’s living legend, Zidane.

Kaka’s move from AC Milan to Real Madrid has provoked a lot of criticism over the loyalty factor. But the former World Player of the Year explained that his decision to leave was a step to help his darling club AC Milan to recover from their huge financial problems.

“My desire was to stay at Milan, but the world financial crisis has affected a lot of clubs, especially Milan,

“As such, I spoke with the Milan board and we concluded that the best thing for everyone would be to sell me,” Kaka told the media in Brazil.

However, Kaka reassured Real Madrid fans that his ambition as a Real Madrid player was alive.

“The challenge with Madrid is fascinating. Together we will win many titles.”
