Kaka passes Madrid medical

Tue 30 Jun, 03:01 PM


Kaka successfully passed his medical with Real Madrid on Tuesday morning, the Primera Division giants have confirmed.

The 27-year-old had already completed a first set of medical tests with Madrid whilst on international duty in Brazil prior to the official announcement of his transfer from AC Milan on June 8.

Kaka, who Madrid have paid Milan a fee reportedly in the region of £56million for, will be presented by his new club at the Bernabeu this evening at a ceremony starting at 2030 local time.

The former Sao Paulo player arrived in Madrid Tuesday morning having just helped Brazil win the Confederations Cup in South Africa - being named player of the tournament in the process.

Kaka underwent various tests at the Sanitas La Moraleja Hospital in the Spanish capital, which he passed with flying colours according to the club's medical team.

Carlos Diez, Real Madrid's medical chief, said: "The tests taken show that he is a player in perfect condition to play football at the highest level as has been seen at the Confederations Cup.

"These tests have been done to complement the ones done in Brazil. We have incorporated new protocols, such as a biomechanic study, which allows us to study the player and be able to prevent future injuries and optimise his performances."

Kaka, who has agreed a six-year contract, was the first signing confirmed by Madrid after Florentino Perez returned to the club presidency at the start of this month.

  5. These medical exams are silly. Why in a world would­ anyone think that any player in big club (Milan, Real,­ ManUtd, Bayern...) can not pass medical if he is­ switching club?
