The 5 biggest free transfers of the summer window

3. Kaka – Real Madrid to AC Milan

Kaka

Many have been quick to call this a purchase which is more appealing to the heart than the head. Pundits have more often than not been inclined to agree, but only when Kaka gets back to playing regular football will one be able to decide either which way.

And regular time on the pitch is what he will get, with Milan looking to fill the gap left by Boateng’s departure.

If the love for Milan isn’t sufficient motivation in itself, the World Cup around the horizon, will see Kaka desperate to prove that he still has what it takes to fit into an increasingly menacing Brazil team.

One of those fairy-tale returns of a club legend has indeed been executed this summer, and it didn’t cost the Rossonieri a dime.
