After years of chasing Kaka, Real Madrid are so close to signing him. The transfer fee is a whooping €65 million and an annual €9 million which works out to be 150,000 weekly.
Rumors are circulating in Madrid that he will be
presented as a player as early as Monday.

Guess that means Man City will miss out on him

Alexandre Pato is going to take over as the go-to man in AC Milan and is about to finally establish himself as one of the top top players in the world, if anyone still doubts it. his start in Inter was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. the first time he ever touched the ball, he passed to Fernandao and the second time he scored his 1st goal. Inter went to halftime beating Palmeiras 4-0. a few weeks later he was World Champions against Barcelona and since he following year (2007) he never stopped scoring goal after goal.

I have seen a fair bit of Pato TM.

He is fairly awesome for a young fella!

TM... I didn't Know you were from brazil... my uncle lived there for about 3 months ... He fell in love with the Country... He told me a lot about it ... among the best countries in the world.. taught me a bit of portuguese here's wht I can remember ... Olá, tudo bem?

There's rumours that Chelski are after Pato..

Tudo bem e aí?

sim, sou brasileiro... com certeza um dos melhores países do mundo para se viver mesmo que eu queira viajar o mundo inteiro... e você, como... oops

did I get carried away? anyway, yes, I am. even though I do wanna travel everywhere I know this is definitely one of the best countries in the world to live in. you guys should know the Beach of Laranjal 20 minutes away from my city. it must be one of the quietest places in the world these days. where did your uncle lived?

I'll PM you

Is Kaka the guy who bounces the ball on his head and runs through the defenders?

no no that is kerlon here is a link to a video of him doing his seal dribble: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/807832/3383818

this is Kaka: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/1416372/4868281
.. he is a playmaker but is also one of his team's top scorers. He won every title there is to win. He also won the FIFA world player of the year award... basically he is already a legend.

Just to declare where my footballing passions lie....

Tottenham Hotspur.

That'll explain my whining and my delusions of granduer.

Funny to see Newcastle go down...and Kaka will not go to Chelski.

Good to know HF

Real Madrid Stunned By Kaka's Demands - Report

Greed is taking its toll as Kaka's father is asking the impossible from Real Madrid...

4 Jun 2009 14:35:32


Kaka's alleged move to Real Madrid was well on the way of being wrapped earlier today as AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani publicly declared that the Brazilian is most likely to leave Italy, whereas president Silvio Berlusconi said that the move was up to the player himself.

After the two clubs agreed a fee of €65 million, conflict has now arisen between Real Madrid and Kaka's representatives, who are making astronomical demands.

According to British paper The Mirror, Kaka's agent and father, Bosco Leite, is supposedly asking for a personal commission of €11.5 million, a sum that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez thinks is much too high.

Leite is also demanding a signing-on-fee of an additional €11.5 million, plus a transfer and €1.5 million for Kaka's younger brother Digao. This would make Real Madrid pay a total €89.5 million, a sum that would break the bank as the highest transfer in history.

Real Madrid have been taken aback after receiving these outrageous demands, and are unlikely to accede to the terms of the deal. Should this be the case, then Kaka will remain at Milan, having already declared earlier this week that he wants to stay put at his current club.

Kaka is in Brazil with the national team preparing for a World Cup Qualifier against Uruguay, and has not been given permission to leave the country to sign any deals.

He has also refused to make any comments about his situation, but the Spanish press are adamant that Kaka indeed wants Madrid, declaring to his friends, "Everything is almost done. I know that I will be going to Madrid. I am very happy."

The final decision concerning Kaka's future is expected to be revealed on Monday.

Funny fuckin how?

by the way I haven't heard of that guy in a long time. that seal dribble was really fun to watch and it made it look like he could be unstoppable but now it seems that he's not going anywhere.



but you gotta remember that he was a bench player and played only a few minutes against Costa Rica in the 2002 World Cup when Brazil won. in 2006 he was only the least depressive of Brazil's stars.

and about his demands, the most absurd that must be really getting in the way of the deal is the one about his brother Digao. that guy just can't play shit!

Spot on, he's a good talent that'd do good anywhere. I just wonder if he'll sell. Milan aren't wanting to sell anymore after losing Kaka - and the only reason they've sold him is the fact that Man City came in for him in January at a ridiculous amount of money and they bit. The problem was, he didn't want to go - which probably didn't show him a lot of confidence. now they've cashed in for less but he's at a hell of a lot better team.

Although changing the topic slightly I reckon there's gonna be a lot of eyes on Sergio Agüero, I'd love to see him in the Premiership.



I can't wait til Scunthorpe head up north to St. James' - I'll be there.

So will i mate!

Our second time together in a stadium when we may not meet up eh?

I'm purely going for a fight, we better meet up.

Ok then mate,ok

Just don't fight each other..

Fuck that. I'm heading straight over to the Scunny end all fists blazing.

How did we go from Kaka to NewCastle United v Scunthrope.. well I guess thts football... Back to Kaka ... The AC Milan board will be holding a meeting today to decide the fate of Kaka. And there will be an announcement tommorow informing us of the outcome of this transfer saga.

Last I heard Kerlon was playing for Chievo in the Se ria A. It seems tht he has taken the long route to becoming a player for a big team...

Spurs in for Ruud Van Nistlerooy...

They will be to far up mate. You will be knackered by the time you get up there. Wait till they come out at the end

OFFICIAL: Kaka Signs For Real Madrid

The Brazilian has completed his long-anticipated move to the Merengues...
9 Jun 2009 01:00:20

Brazilian international Kaka has finally made the switch from AC Milan to Real Madrid.

The Spanish media have been claiming the deal, worth approximately €65 million, had been as good as done for some time, but it has now finally been confirmed by Real Madrid and AC Milan.

Real Madrid's statement read:

"Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, Kaka, is a Real Madrid player after an agreement was reached with AC Milan. The Brazilian footballer has now successfully passed all medical tests. Kaka has signed a contract with Real Madrid for the next six seasons."

Meanwhile, AC Milan's statement read:

"From next season, Kaka will play at Real Madrid. Milan thank Kaka the man and the great champion for his decisive contribution to the many victories over the last six years.

"It will be very difficult to fill the void that Kaka will leave, as he is a shining example of commitment and professionalism. A. C. Milan, on behalf of the Rossoneri managers, players and supporters, send him the most cordial and affectionate wishes for the continuation of his sporting career."

The Move

Los Blancos gave Kaka a medical today, flying a doctor out to meet the former Sao Paulo man while he was on international duty with Brazil.

The deal was made official after the 27-year-old spoke with Milan president Silvio Berlusconi over the telephone, although Milan officials have been reluctantly admitting over the past few days that there was the possibility their player could leave the San Siro.

Kaka joined Milan in 2003, winning the Ballon d'Or during his time with the club and played a starring role in the 2004 Scudetto and 2007 Champions League triumphs.

Newly elected Real Madrid president Florentino Perez promised to bring in big names after taking over, in order to restore the club to it's former glory after their inability to challenge for Europe's top prize in recent seasons. It appears that Kaka was the first name on his list.
