Kaka's farewell letter to Real Madrid fans

Kaka bids farewell to Real Madrid fans

Kaka joined Real Madrid from Serie A giants AC Milan with a lot of fanfare in 2009. But, his stint at Madrid was not successful as he hardly appeared in the team’s starting eleven. He suffered from multiple injuries throughout his tenure. He played 85 matches in his 4-year term with Madrid, scoring 23 goals.

This summer, newly appointed Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti decided to release Kaka as he felt the Brazilian’s services were not required anymore. Kaka joined his previous club AC Milan on a free transfer.

Before leaving the club Kaka wrote a farewell letter to the Madrid fans.

To the fans of Real Madrid,

I have spent four years here giving my all to the team and overcoming challenges. We won three titles during the four years I have donned the Real Madrid shirt. This great club has a special place in my heart.

I am now embarking on a new stage in my professional career, but I will always be fond of Spain and remember the good times I had here, and I am confident that all the effort was made in pursuit of success. There were many difficult times, but being part of the history of a great club like Real Madrid will stay with me for the rest of my life.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my teammates, coaches, all the staff, the management, the president Florentino Pérez, all the Real Madrid fans and those who have supported me over the years.

Thank you and ¡Hala Madrid!

KAKÁ
