.
.
Kaka is set to complete a £56million move from AC Milan to Real
Madrid after passing a medical the first stage of a medical with
the Spanish giants.
Madrid doctor Juan Carlos Hernandez and a club lawyer arrived
yesterday with a contract in Recife, where the playmaker is based
with the Brazil national team.
It is reported that he passed preliminary tests last night and
will be released by the Brazilian federation to undergo a fuller
medical with Hernandez at 9am local time today (1pm UK time).
Dr Jose Luis Runco, head of medicine at the Bernabeu, confirmed
to Spanish newspaper AS that Hernandez had met Kaka and suggested
an official announcement would follow soon.
Madrid’s ambitious new president Florentino Perez hopes to
announce the coup soon after but will allow Milan owner Silvio
Berlusconi dictate the timetable out of respect for the Italian.
Berlusconi hopes to talk to the 27-year-old today and insists the
deal is not yet done.
Kaka scored a penalty in Brazil’s 4-0 demolition of Uruguay on
Saturday night – his country’s first competitive victory in
Montevideo – which put them top of the South American World Cup
qualifying section going into Wednesday’s home match against
Paraguay.
Kaka would talk only about the match afterwards, but said: ‘I’ll
talk soon about my future.’
The former Sao Paulo player, previously a target for Chelsea and
Manchester City, will not be unveiled at the Bernabeu until the end
of the month, after Brazil’s participation at the Confederations
Cup in South Africa.
