The Brazil midfielder's previous deal was due to expire in 2009. A product of São Paulo FC, Kaká joined Milan in June 2003 for €8.5m and had a fantastic first season in Serie A, quickly establishing himself as regular and scoring ten times as Milan secured their 17th Scudetto. Last term, the 24-year-old registered 14 goals in 35 Serie A appearances, while also scoring five times in the UEFA Champions League. Milan will return to that competition next season after a second-placed league finish. Currently in Germany, Kaká struck the only goal of Brazil's opening game against Croatia.
