Kaka move to Manchester City would shatter Top 10 all-time transfer record list

Zinedine Zidane still lays claim to being the world's most expensive player ever. But with the silly money being offered by Manchester City to lure Kaka to Eastlands, how much longer will the former Real Madrid playmaker keep hold of his mantle?

• City broke into the Top 10 all-time transfer record list earlier this season with the £32.5m acquisition of Robinho.
• Previously, the only Premier League sides to reach those heights were Chelsea and Manchester United. United have boosted their showing following last summer’s deadline day signing of Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham for £30.75m.
• The Bulgarian joins Rio Ferdinand in the Top 10 list, with Sir Alex Ferguson splashing out approximately £30m to Leeds for the centre-back back in 2002.
• Chelsea appear only once in the top 10. Their £30.8m capture of Andrei Shevchenko proved a less-then-successful acquisition.
• Shevchenko’s move to Chelsea is well documented as being a flop, while Gaizka Mendieta’s £29m move from Valencia to Lazio is thought to be the worst piece of business in Serie A history.
