Costacurta: Kaka did it for Milan
Tuesday 9 June, 2009

Legendary Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta believes Kaka decided to join Real Madrid for the good of the Rossoneri.

The Spanish giants formally announced the signature of Kaka early this morning for a figure in the region of £60m.

“It's a painful decision but Milan will find a great substitute. Kaka did not want to go away,” Costacurta told Sky Italia.

“He is an intelligent lad and he accepted his fate for the good of Milan, finding motivation in a new adventure.

“The choice to sell Kaka inserts itself into a phase of transition for Milan that will carry the Rossoneri to other great successes,” Costacurta concluded.

Milan are certainly in a state of flux at the moment, having watched Carlo Ancelotti leave for Chelsea, Paolo Maldini retire and Kaka leave.
