Boban questions Kaka deal
Tuesday 9 June, 2009

Former Milan midfielder Zvonimir Boban doubts Real Madrid will be able to catch Barcelona even with the signing of Kaka.

Los Merengues formally announced a £59m deal for the 27-year-old Brazil international in the early hours of this morning.

“Real have made a great buy but it will not be enough to close the gap that separates them from Barcelona. At the moment, the Blaugrana are too far in front,” Boban told Sky Italia.

The 40-year-old Croat also disagreed with his former teammate Alessandro Costacurta in saying Kaka actually wanted to leave Milan.

“He wanted to go away. He told lies when in January he promised love to the Milan colours,” Boban explained. “I am also surprised by the choice of the club.

“For the first time since Silvio Berlusconi became President, Milan have sold the most important champion of the team. It's a decision that has struck me and left me embittered,” he concluded.
