Brazil's Kaka will now also be an Italian citizen. The star of the Brazilian national team, after the citizenship ceremony, expressed pride and happiness that he will be both a Brazilian and Italian citizen.

"I am very proud and truly happy. I am sure that this will help me in the future, especially while being in Milan. Now in all aspects I am Italian and an integral part of the 'Milan' club," said the footballer with dual citizenship from now on.

This decision by Kaka should be beneficial for both him and the club he represents. From now on, the footballer can be registered as a citizen of the European Union, and his place in the team lineup can be filled by another player who does not hold EU citizenship.
