He went to Brazil solely to cheer for his country, even though he so badly wanted to play in the World Cup. He did it for his son Luca, who looked overjoyed meeting the players on the touchline before Brazil took on Croatia in the opener. So Kaka does things with his heart, but he made the move to Major League Soccer with his head. There was nothing else for him to accomplish at Milan.
He will also get a chance to play on loan at Sao Paulo, the club of his childhood, and wrap up one more love story. MLS did not disclose his salary, but it's assumed that it's big. But he would not come to the U. He speaks several languages.
He is almost a citizen of the world. Carlo Ancelotti first thought he was some "young preacher," according to his book The Beautiful Games of an Ordinary Genius , when Kaka arrived at Milan in , and while he is 32 years old now, Kaka is still spreading the gospel of football.
When he arrived in Orlando this week, hundreds of fans greeted him at the airport and at the official unveiling. That's because Kaka connects with the fans like no other athlete. People genuinely care about him because he is a good person and a damn fine athlete. For Milan, the decision was also a good one. Milan have now freed up some space, if they so choose to spend some money this off-season.
Kaka scored nine goals and set up eight others during his solitary season back at Milan, with whom he had previously won the Champions League. Sao Paulo vice-president Ataide Gil Guerreiro claimed on Monday that the year-old would return to his first club before making a move to MLS outfit Orlando City, a statement which has been confirmed by the player.
The Florida-based club has been announced as an MLS expansion franchise for the season. As AC Milan put Kaka on the transfer market in , a number of top clubs in the European continent came shopping for his services.
At the time, Man City was looking for a marquee signing and had identified the Ballon d'Or winner as their prime target. Milan was prepared to accept the mammoth bid by Man City but Kaka refused to play for the English side. Upon rejecting Man City, Kaka was adamant to continue his football in Italy because he felt the 'love and affection' from the Milan faithful.
