Kaka to wear Number 8 at Real Madrid

Posted on June 30th, 2009 in Real Madrid by reddevilrooney

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite was officially presented today by the club’s new chairman Florentino Perez as his first new Galacticos acquisition. The unveiling of Ronaldo will take place in the first weke of July. Kaka joined the Spanish giants from AC Milan, after a protracted transfer saga last January which tipped the player with a big-money move to Premier League side Manchester City. The club has already sold 2000 new kits with the player name. All the retailers and club shop awaited was to know which number the player would wear.

Buy the KAKA shirt

It was initially thought that he would wear the number 5 left vacated by all-time great Zinedine Zidane. However, Kaka, who is a devout catholic and a very humble person, refused to wear this number. He will instead wear the Number 8 shirt for Los Merengues, which are building a super squad that should be the one to watch in the 2009/10 season. Kaka was presented today holding his new shirt, changing from his previous AC Milan’s number 22. One of the ways that the club is looking to cover the £56 million expense is through the widespread sale of Kaka 8 shirts.

    good number for a good plalyer…

  2. Daddy said,

    Maybe this is photoshopped on a PC or Mac Program, my guess is he’ll wear 24 like he did in the Italian capital

  3. Prisky said,

    Nice shirt and a great number and now i’m hoping that cristiano will get the 7 shirt!!

  4. paul said,

    Raul won’t give up the 7, didn’t do it for Beckham, won’t do it for Ronaldo.

    the portuguese will get number 9

  5. Jon Hickey said,

    Ronaldo will get number 9, he trademarked CR9 last year, nobody will get 7 until Raul retires. Albiol will get 5.

  6. Prisky said,

    actually didnt quite think that on through haha
    that is a great shout aswell no9 will look good

  7. JP said,

    Kaka is not catholic, he’s protestant.

  8. GazzaJambo said,

    Gago is to be number 5

  9. cannon06 said,

    Reckon they might retire the number 7 after Raul retires? Ronaldo might pick some silly really high number in the 80’s like some players do in foreign leagues. If not it will probably be number 9. 8 looks a lot better on Kaka than 22.

  10. Gaz said,

    Ronaldo will wear 10, his agent registered CR1O in Spain last year, NOT 9!!!

  11. Andy said,

    So what number will Sneijder get?

  12. 09 said,

    Nah, Ronaldo registered CR9 on his clothing company, so you would guess he will wear 9 and not 10.

  13. Skiprovers said,

    What are you on about JP? Kaka is like the most devout Catholic ever. He is a Brazilian that wears a t-shirt that says “I belong to God” which he shows when he has scored. What more proof do you need plus what does it matter and yes Ronaldo is definately going to be 9 as CR9 is his trademark, his national shirt is now no 9 and nike are planning to bring out CR9 boots too, so i have heard.. probs to replace the R9’s they made for Ronaldinho.

  14. Ger’s Gaz said,

    It was the fat Ronaldo (the Brazilian) that Nike did R9’s for, Ronaldinho is R10. It was posted on this very site a while back that CR has changed his shop in Lisbon to CR9, so I too think he will wear 9 for Real

  15. Liam J.C said,

    Let me wrap this up
    Kaka 8
    Ronaldo 9
    Raul 7
    Albiol 22
    Gago 5
    Finished.

  16. baldini said,

    ha ha you’re all nuts, shirts nice and Kaka is a top player that will wear number 8, end of….

  17. cameron liverpool for life said,

    yh wht r u on bout jp kaka is catholic lol anyways liam j.c is right. i think they should retire number 7 shirt once raul retires.

  18. Jon Hickey said,

    Didn’t see that one coming, not a fan of Gago, was hoping he would be sold! What numbers will Benzema and Ribery get then?! Kaka attends some type of methodist church by the way, that’s also where a large portion of his wages go, he is friends with the minister and his wife.

  19. Watford Boy said,

    woo kaka’ probably be a legend at real

  20. Nick said,

    to jon- none as real wont sign either of those players

  21. ross said,

    kaka is a devout christian/protestant not cathloic why he wears tshirt saying he belongs to god a cathloic would wear one saying he belongs to jesus like
