Record transfer fee as Kaka moves to Real Madrid

Brazilian star Kaka agreed to a record breaking move to Real Madrid on Monday signing a 6 year deal.   Reports suggest that the transfer fee is around  £59 million thereby smashing the previous world record of £47m set by Real in 2001 when they bought Zinedine Zidane from Juventus.

"I can officially say I'm a Real Madrid player. My professional link with AC Milan finishes now, but my sentimental link will never end,''  Kaka said.

AC Milan gave Kaka a glowing tribute on their website.  ''From next season, Kaka will play at Real Madrid,'' read the statement. ''AC Milan [thank] the man and the great champion Kaka for his decisive contribution to the many victories achieved in the six years of his commitment. 'The lost technique, while serious, can be remedied. It will be very difficult to fill the void that will be left by Kaka, a shining example of professionalism, commitment and professionalism."

Real Madrid is still on the signing path with Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso, David Villa and Franck Ribery all linked to the Spanish giants.
