AC Milan make Kaká's return official

Kaká's time at Real Madrid reached its end today after an agreement was reached with AC Milan, making his return official. The Brazilian player thus leaves Madrid, where he arrived four seasons ago and where his stay has not exactly been crowned with glory.

According to La Gazzetta, Kaká will get €4 million net plus a bonus for each of the two seasons he has signed for. Kaká will have a medical and then sign up with Milan.

Kaká makes the return journey he started in July 2009, from Milan, where he won the Balon d'Or which led him to arrive at the Santiago Bernabéu with insurmountable expectations, for a fee of €67 million.

So Real Madrid and AC Milan yesterday reached an agreement by which the player goes back to the place which was his home for six years. Milan president Adriano Lombardi confirmed this as he left the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, where he had spent the afternoon negotiating for the player.

Kaká's time at Madrid has been marked by a series of highs and lows, both physical and sporting. he never quite managed to establish himself in the first team, and his continual injuries prevented him from showing off his skills to the full.

With the arrival of Ancelotti, many people foresaw an upsurge in Kaká's fortunes, but not being chosen to play has made him decide to go back to Milan, and start off a new stage of his career there.
