Real Madrid reportedly sign Kaka for £56m



Spanish radio station Cadena Ser is reporting Kaka has signed for Real Madrid in a €65million (£56million) deal, although his spokesman has countered that while an approach has been made no agreement has yet been struck.

Kaka's father and agent, Bosco Leite, reportedly revealed that a deal was agreed following talks between newly-installed Real president Florentino Perez and AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and Leite.

However, Kaka's spokesman Diogo Kotscho said: "Kaka will listen to Real and decide whether or not to make the transfer.

"What I can say for certain is that the Spaniards and Milan have not reached any agreement."

Earlier on Tuesday the Brazilian reiterated his desire to stay at the San Sio, amid reports Chelsea had discussed with Milan officials his possible transfer when finalising Carlo Ancelotti's switch to Stamford Bridge.

It is Madrid though who have stolen ahead of their English counterparts in their efforts to land a player widely regarded to be one of the world's finest.

Kaka told Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday: "I say it for the last time. I don't want to leave Milan."

However, his declaration to the Rossoneri cause has failed to quell talk of a departure to ease the club's considerable debt.

Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi intimated prior to the reports breaking in Spain that his club could lose their talisman.

"I do not know if we can keep Kaka at Milan because they (Madrid) have offered him so much money," he told Italian news agency Ansa.

"You can't keep someone against his will. I have not spoken with Leonardo or Galliani yet."

So Ronaldo will be staying at United then...

On a side note, I personally feel that this is plenty big enough for it's own thread but have no problem if the staff member still feels it shouldn't.

Well Perez claims they're getting Ronaldo as well.

This is huge news and I expect it to go through. Good signing for Madrid but I can see why Milan would accept that amount. They need to rebuild badly.

Well Milan have a lot of pensioners now so this £56m will do them wonders.

If this is true, then I'm shocked.

With Leonardo taking over at Milan I was sure Kaka would stay. Leonardo played a big part in bringing Kaka to the San Siro.

I won't believe this until I see Kaka at a press conference posing with a Real Madrid shirt.

But maybe he's just being realistic. Firstly it may have been Berlusconi saying they have to accept it, but also they realise that they really need that money to invest in the team in order to progress. Kaka is great, but the money would benefit Milan more than he does, despite Leonardo's personal relationship with the player.

Obviously the money would be good for them to rebuild the team, they accepted Man City’s offer of £100m odd in January, but Kaka didn't want to leave. If Kaka doesn't want to leave, then they can't make him.

Kaka told Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday: "I say it for the last time. I don't want to leave Milan."

Yes well if Leonardo played a big part in signing him then maybe he could have sat down with him after receiving the bid and explained that he is a fantastic player and he doesn't want to sell him, but the money is just to great to turn down?

If that that happens then it's understandable. But I still don't see him leaving Milan.

[Dmac]

Well I'm still waiting for confirmation myself so you're not alone but I actually do beleive it.

[CGS]

Hmmm. I just find it hard to believe that Kaka would leave Milan unless there is something going on behind the scenes that the public don't know about. If this is true then it is a big signing for Madrid & a big blow for Milan. £56 million could do they good though.
