#1 Kaka – From Sao Paulo to AC Milan for £7m in 2003
Trending
Kaka is the last person to have beaten Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to the Ballon d’Or and that was a good 10 years ago.
Milan signed Kaka for just £7m and when the Brazilian arrived at the club as a 21-year-old he had already won the FIFA World Cup in 2002 albeit as a squad player.
His impact with Milan was instantaneous as he went on to score 10 goals in 30 league games in his debut season, helping them secure the Scudetto. He went on to play 270 games in six seasons, scoring 95 goals as well as winning several team and individual honours, including the UEFA Champions League and Ballon d’Or.
He moved to Real Madrid in 2009 for a world record transfer fee of £65m only for the Los Blancos to break it two weeks later by signing Cristiano Ronaldo for £80m!
