Kaka, who joined Real Madrid with the world transfer record of £59m said that he is leaving AC Milan on a good note and that he has no regrets at all. On top of that, he said that such a lucrative deal will bring more good than bad to the club he love and sort of developed into a world class footballer. This came after Kaka passed the medical in Brazil through the agents sent by Real Madrid to Brazil where he is involved in the World Cup qualifiers.
Kaka said "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. Real Madrid intend to build a great team, with historic players such as Raul and Casillas. We will make history again, both in Spain and Europe. I guess the sport project is very good."
The Brazilian playmaker was the center of rumours where he was linked to a move away from San Siro including a £100million move to Manchester City but did not do so as he wanted to finish the season with Milan. He said "Manchester City and Real Madrid are two different clubs with different situations. At that time, it was mid-season, I had a strong emotional impact due to the Italian fans requesting me to stay, and I decided to stay. Now another chance came up and AC Milan is in a big crisis (financially). For me, the sporting project (at Madrid) is interesting and will be an important boost to continue my career in the highest level.”
One thing for sure, one cannot deny Kaka’s sentiments for Milan where he has won almost every accolade in club football including 2 European medals. He said "I wanted to stay on at Milan, but the world (financial) crisis affected a lot of clubs, especially those like Milan which are businesses. So then, I spoke with the Milan directors and we reached the conclusion that the best thing for everybody would be to sell. The president (Perez) is already making contact (with potential signings) and is putting together a competitive team, one which will try to once again become champions in Spain and Europe. That's why I chose Madrid."
Now that the deal is concluded, Kaka’s next move is in Spain where he will work around the team to end Barcelona’s dominance this season where they won a rare treble. But whatever the case, he has no qualms of his time in Milan saying "I'm happy to leave Milan by the front door, with a lot of friends. It has been very emotional to see what the Milan fans have done for me."
