Kaka Hits 2nd Slot On World's Most Expensive Transfer List

Recommended Posts

Kaka's move to Real Madrid from AC Milan this evening gives the Bernabeu yet another slot in the top five most expensive transfers of all time.

 

However, Florentino Perez's (President of Real Madrid) latest capture has fallen short of being the most expensive football deal ever:

Zinedine Zidane (Juventus - Real Madrid) 2001 - ?76m

Kaka (AC Milan - Real Madrid) 2009 - ?65m

Luis Figo (Barcelona - Real Madrid) 2000 - ?58.5m

Hernan Crespo (Parma - Lazio) 2000 - ?53.6m

Gianluigi Buffon (Parma - Juventus) 2001 - ?49.2

The Power Of Purchasing

 

By some measures, Kaka is even more expensive than Zidane. To give a rough guide, back then ?76m was worth ?46m, while Kaka's transfer of around ?65m this year is worth a mammoth ?56.3m.

 

However, as both the Zizou and Kaka moves took place between Italian and Spanish clubs, working off euros makes more sense. The euro, in fact, has not fluctuated quite as much as the weakening pound has since 2001, meaning that Kaka will, to most observers, be the second-most expensive transfer of all time.

 

Zizou may have given up his No. 5 shirt for the Brazilian, then - but he still keeps his record!
