Real Madrid continue to target 'galacticos'

Real Madrid will continue to target 'galacticos' after completing the £59million capture of Brazil's Kaka.

Kaka last night joined Madrid from AC Milan as president Florentino Perez - who recently returned for a second spell - gave the strongest indication yet that he intends to revive his policy of signing world stars which previously saw the likes of Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham arrive at the Bernabeu.

Kaka is the first of the second generation although he could soon be followed to the Spanish capital by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Villa.

Perez has already spoken of his desire to sign Manchester United winger Ronaldo although any approach to the Old Trafford club is likely to be given short shrift.

He told Sky Italia: "We are always thinking about great players.

"Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are among other great players around the world.

"We all know that these are players that we would like to buy but they can't all come."

Perez's comments are likely to infuriate United, who voiced their displeasure last summer at Madrid's public pursuit of the Portugal international.

And Perez insisted any move for Ronaldo this time would be done via the right channels.
