Real Madrid have signed Brazilian midfielder Kaka from AC Milan, the Primera Liga club said on their website (www.realmadrid.com) on Tuesday. The 27-year-old international has agreed to a six-year contract to become the first player to join Real since Florentino Perez returned to the presidency this month. Reports said the transfer fee was around 68 million euros ($94.05 million) which would make it the second biggest ever after Zinedine Zidane joined Real from Juventus for around 73 million euros in 2001. http://in.reuters.com/article/topNews/idINIndia-40173120090609 Credit crunch? How bad can things really be when footballclubs can just splash 100$ million on a football player.
The player stands to make $12.6M a year in salary. So right off the bat, without doing the financial maths, Real Madrid is doling out $165M for a player who is 27 years old. Wonder buying younger players and grooming them into stars is a better investment than buying the stars and watching them grow worn out and old. anyways, soccer is always 'muchos bonita'

Keep splashing it out.
