kaka, however, before and even after the last revision of his contract was and is not among the very highest earners at Milan - I am basing this on things I have read on acmilan.com, Galliani's words, and the fact that kaka, no matter how good he has been for some time now, until this last season he was seen as a great talent - a player who was still a bit green and still develooping - and was in the shadow of players like Sheva, Maldini, Nesta etc, etc ... an important player at Milan but not "bandiera" as they call them.

It was only this last year, with Sheva gone, that Kaka became like the player-symbol at Milan and the talk about him is no longer "a great talent" but "the best player out there" ... these are the things that make big jumps in a player's salary records.

For the kaka of 05/06 season when the contract was last revised, 4 mil/season were more than enough ... now however, Milan will have to up the ante and it would only be rightly so given that the situation has changed (I am not referring only to Real M's advances), especially if we are ready to pay 10 mil/season to Dinho, and I would expect that he will soon be offered a much improved contract and I doubt he would say no even if it will hardly equal the 12 mil supposedly offered by Real, but would still be a lot higher than the current one.
