And there's me thinking we're going through an economic crisis. Apparently not in Spain as Real Madrid today confirmed that they have completed the signing of Braziliant playmaker Kaka for a world record fee of £56 million.
For all those believing this to be pure fabrication and merely Florentino Perez at his rumour surfacing best we actually have some quotes from the player himself to confirm the move.
In an interview with the world's media before Brazil's World Cup encounter with Paraguay the 27-year-old said:
"I wanted to stay but the world crisis affected my decision.
"I knew I'd only leave Milan to play for Real."
So Perez has delivered the first part of his galactico jigsaw which just leaves one Cristiano Ronaldo to complete the puzzle. Only Sir Alex Ferguson stands in his way.
It's turning into the proverbial bidding war now if reports are to be believed. Apparently Chelsea, under new manager Carlo Ancelotti have bid in excess of £70 million for the darling of Milan.
That would smash to pieces any current world transfer record (which coincidentally stands at £44 million I believe) but will the allure of Ancelotti be enough to dissuade Kaka from joining Madrid?
In fairness until Kaka actually speaks out on all this speculation it shouldn't really be taken with much more than a pinch of salt but the summer wouldn't be the same without the transfer merry-go-round now would it? So until he does confirm where his future lies, let the speculation continue I say!
Milan's best player is apparently following Carlo Ancelotti's lead in leaving the San Siro. Or so we're led to believe. Yet it has to be said that with Florentino Perez now in charge at Real Madrid the deal does look highly plausible, more so than ever before in fact.
Although it was only a couple of days ago that the man himself was committing his future to the Milan cause and reaffirming his affection for his adoring fans. Then again if Galliani (that guy near the top of the Milan hierarchy) is willing to accept the reported £56 million bid then it just shows that money does indeed talk and Kaka certainly won't like it.
So will the brilliant Brazilian be in a Madrid shirt come the end of the week and will Cristiano Ronaldo follow suit as a result? The potential of Kaka joining would be a huge indication that Real are looking to go places next season thus meaning Ronaldo's 'dream' move may still be on the cards.
