Kaka returns to Milan from Real Madrid

Milan have reached an agreement to re-sign the Brazil forward Kaká from Real Madrid, the Guardian reported. 

The 31-year-old last week revealed he wanted to leave the Bernabéu after four years – having joined from Milan for a reported €70m (£56m) in 2009 – and the Rossoneri vice-president, Adriano Galliani, moved quickly to persuade the 2007 Ballon d'Or winner to return to Serie A.

A statement published on Milan's official website on Monday morning confirmed a two-year contract was in place for Kaká, who was preparing to fly to Italy at midday after Madrid sanctioned his departure.
