Kaka completed his record £56million move from AC Milan to Real Madrid late on Monday night after passing a medical in Brazil.
Real doctor Juan Carlos Hernandez put Kaka through three hours of tests yesterday at a clinic close to the Brazil team’s hotel in Recife.
Real released a statement saying: ‘Kaka is a Real Madrid player after an agreement with AC Milan. The Brazilian footballer has now successfully passed all medical tests. Kaka has signed a contract for the next six seasons with Real Madrid.’
The mammoth sums involved in Kaka’s purchase underline club president Florentino Perez’s determination to return Real to the pinnacle of Spanish and European football.
On top of the £56m fee, Real will make Kaka the best-paid player in the world at £200,000 a week over the six years of his contract – a total of more than £62m. In addition, Real will pick up his tax bill, taking advantage of Spanish laws on foreign nationals which mean it will be paid at 24 per cent.
