AC Milan playmaker Kaka’s move to Real Madrid has stumbled due to a list of demands put forward by his father and agent, Bosco Leite, according to the latest report.

Yet in an astonishing twist, Real advisor Zinedine Zidane was reported as claiming that the Brazilian “has already signed” for the Spanish club.

A report in The Mirror claims that Real Madrid are thinking twice about the transfer after Leite demanded a £10 million signing-on bonus, £10m agent’s commission – and a transfer plus £1m signing bonus for Kaka’s brother, Diago, pushing the total value of the deal to over £90m.

Diago, a 23-year-old defender currently on loan from Milan with Standard Liege, is a reported transfer target for Roy Hodgson’s Fulham, leading the tabloid to speculate that Chelsea’s interest in the deal could be rekindled: should both players move to the Premier League then they would be neighbours on the King’s Road.

Late on Thursday night, however, that possibility seemed to be dwindling after El Mundo Deportivo claimed that Zidane – recently appointed an advisor to Real president Florentino Perez – told a press conference in Rome that Kaka “has already signed” for the Spanish giants.

While attending the testimonial match for Vicent Candela, Zidane reportedly confirmed that Kaka has already inked a deal with, adding that “I’d be happy if he took my number five (shirt), it wouldn’t make me jealous.”

Filed under: Serie A by: Imad Malik
