Kaka's Brother, Digao Joins Milan

The famous family atmosphere at the Milanello is no longer a figure of speech now that Kaka’s younger brother Rodrigo Leite - or Digao as he prefers to be called officially joined the squad Tuesday.

The 21-year-old defender underwent his first training for Milan yesterday, where he was visibly relishing the chance to play along side his much adored older brother and boyhood idol Paolo Maldini.

Milan had actually signed the lanky defender in 2005, but immediately sent him on loan to gain experience at Rimini, who have since been promoted to Serie B.

Digao certainly will bring down the median age of the Rossoneri defense, but is not expected to feature much in his first season amongst the big boys.

The more cynical amongst the Italian press have been suggesting that the only reason he is at the club is to increase the comfort level for Kaka, thus reducing the chances of him being tempted by a mega-contract offer by Real Madrid down the line.
