Kaka: I Want Milan Forever

AC Milan superstar Kaka has declared that he wants to stay with the club for the rest of his career.

The Brazilian magician was in scintillating form yesterday, scoring once and setting up both of Filippo Inzaghi’s goals as the Rossoneri defeated Boca Juniors 4-2 to win the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.

Before the match Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani stated that Kaka would sign a new, long-term contract with the club in the summer, and that he swore he would remain until he retired.

"On the 30th of June of next year, Kaka will sign on until 2013," Galliani said.

"Kaka has sworn that he will remain at Milan for his entire career. He gave his word. He's our symbol and our flag."

Kaka himself has now confirmed that this is exactly his intention.

“It's great here, I want to stay forever," the 2002 World Cup winner smiled.

Kaka has had a magnificent year, winning the Champions League, European Super Cup, World Club Cup and the Ballon d’Or.

He is also expected to pick up the FIFA World Player of the Year award, when the winner is announced today.

Two AC Milan players have picked up the prize in the past; Marco Van Basten in 1992 and George Weah in 1995.
