Kaka returns to AC Milan with World Cup in mind
Kaka is returning to former club AC Milan after reportedly accepting a 50 per cent cut in salary. Financial terms were not disclosed but the Gazzetta dello Sport reported it was a two-year deal worth €4 million (HK$40.5 million) per season plus bonuses - a significant drop from the €10 million Kaka earned with Madrid.

"Kaka made a big [sacrifice] to return here, showing a lot of affection for our shirt," Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said.
Kaka, 31, wants to play for Brazil at next year's World Cup in his home country and should feature more at Milan.
"Milan is ideal for me," he said. "I always find great champions here. Before there was Pippo Inzaghi now there's [Mario] Balotelli. I hope to experience great joys with Mario.
"I really want to play. This is a special year for me because the World Cup is coming up but now I've got to do well with Milan. I was very sorry to leave but now it's even more special to come back."
