Once again Wikipedia proves itself to be the most reliable website on the web, telling us that Zizou cost €76m, compared to Kaka at €65m.

Haven't seen that reported anywhere else.

its the highest in pounds due to move in exchange rate which i believe most have made clear, certainly the ones ive read anyway

In english pounds its Kaka in euro its Zidane.

Who is it in Thai Baht? Anyone know?

what about mexican pesos?

[Saxondale]

And how about in the Tongan Pa'Anga?  King media slut?  You must know.

Wikipedia would be right in this case, as others have said if comparing like with like, Zizou was more, but in sterling Kaka is worth more because of the shit exchange rate now

It isn't actually a world record fee. Fricken lying jurnos. The deals were done in Euros, the pound values then and now are irrelevant.

Couldn't agree more - sales figures matter more to the tabloid press than the small matter of facts.  Zidane cost more than Kaka.  [Rafa impression]: FACT.
