Forgottengold.com a gold recycling company have worked out that Real Madrid will pay Ac Milan 44 times Kaka's weight in gold if his 68m transfer goes through this summer. Kaka who is 12 stone and if he was 24-carat gold, he would be worth 1.56m.
To the extent that any player is worth that money, Kaka is.
It's amusing to see the "his weight in gold" cliché actually quantified.
Nobody is.
If Kieran Richardson is worth £5m then Kaka is well worth £68m and more. Everything's relative I guess!!
Does seem a lot for a 27 year old, whats the sell on value Real are likely to recoup. Added to the fact they have already realised all there assest the last time el presidento tried to build a team of galacticos, they are mortgaged to the hilt as it is.
Really? I thought everything was rosy since they sold their training ground to the government for a couple of hundred million a few years back.Quote:

Quality player but hes not better( worth more) then Zidane was IMO.He also isnt a ponce the way Ronaldo is though,should do well there.
The training ground thing was 2003. I was just looking it up, and I hadn't realised the scale of their spending since then. Multiple £15M+ transfers every year. Ridiculous.Quote:

I think 68 million is cheap for Kaka. He is worth at least 100 million.
He's worth what someone is willing to pay. Junior cert businesss tells you that
Will Real have extra income streams from this signing? Probably. There's been far worse value for money transfer in recent times
Factor in wages, signing fees and agents' fees etc and there's no way they'll recoup the money, so he's not "worth it" in that sense. But that's not their major concern.Quote:

Casillas is worth more than 65m to them..
Yeah agree - kaka is good but def not worth that price but then Madrid are very confident of getting all this money back from the advertising and 50% of his image rights, etcQuote:

Zidane did cost moreQuote:

If they can achieve these figures and win a few titles/cups along the way then both will have been well worth the fees paid.
No about 35-40 million euro.
Beckham was one of the very few players in recent times who was worth every penny that was spent on him as from a business point of view he paid for himself and for others.
Soon the question might be "is Ibrahimovic worth 80 million?" :eek:
Now that would be the biggest joke ever. The worst player in the world being sold for the price of Ronaldo!Quote:
