Kaká is truly one of the greats of the modern game. He was FIFA World Player of the Year in 2007, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and was involved in the second biggest transfer of all-time when he moved from Italian giants AC Milan to Real Madrid last summer as the first of the new wave of Galaticos.

Kaká wears the coveted Brazil number 10 shirt, following in the footsteps of such legends as Pele and Zico. His is the main creative force for the national team who go into this summer's World Cup as joint favourites and the number one team in the world. He's played in two World Cups before and we've got signed photos of him scoring his only World Cup goal against Croatia in 2006.

For AC Milan he won Serie A and memorably won the Champions League in 2007 gained some revenge over Liverpool after they defeated his team in the classic Istanbul final two years earlier. It was in that season and with AC that he was officially declared the world's best player by FIFA.

This summer he moved from AC Milan to Real Madrid for £56m as the first Galatico of the second Perez era. Not only do we have Kaka signed Real shirts but we also have dual signed Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka shirts -  a truly unique piece of memorabilia for any collector.

Kaka is already a legend and this summer at icons we're all looking forward to seeing him parade his unique skills on the biggest stage of all.

Cristiano Ronaldosigned Real Madrid shirts must be the most sought after piece of football memorabilia in the world. Icons.com have done numerous signings with Cristiano in the past so we were really excited to meet up with him in Madrid this weekend and have him sign Real Madrid home and away shirts, a selection of action photos, two differnt colours of his famous Nike Vapour boots and some Portugal shirts.

Ronaldo only signs for icons.com and we've worked with the current FIFA World Player of the Year for over five years now, going back to when he was establishing himself in the Manchester United team. The full range of Real Madrid products will be on the site tomorrow, but we still have a small amount of shirts and photos left from his last signing with us in February this year where he signed a number of Manchester United products for us.

He was looking fit and well and we hope he'll be back in the Real Madrid line up in time for 'El Clasico', the game everyone in world football is looking forward too this weekend when the Champions League winners Barcelona take on Real Madrid's new generation of Galacticos. Who will come out on top in the contest between Cristiano and Lionel Messi, hotly tipped to supplant Ronaldo as officially the best player in world football when the FIFA award is announced in early December?

We're just happy to have both amazing players available on the icons.com site. We can honestly say our memorabilia is defintely signed by the world's best.

The icons.com team was in Madrid for our exclusive signing with Cristiano Ronaldo this weekend and had the chance to make a visit to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, iconic home of Real Madrid. We put our head in the club shop and on the wall they proclaim "Real Madrid - the most successful club of the 20th Century" which, to be fair, is true.

We're proud to launch the brand new 2009-10 icons.com brochure. The aim is to showcase all the major players we have signed memorabilia products for and to re-emphaize that icons.com is the leading suppliers of signed football merchandise in the world.

As you know icons.com is the world's leading supplier of signed football memorabilia. We've been meeting with world's best players for nearly 10 years now and bringing our customers the best quality products out there.

We were looking back in the archive of our signing photos throughout those 10 years and found these classics from the first Galactico era of Floretino Perez at Real Madrid. Back then we conducted numerous signings with the top players from that team.

Check out the signing photos of the orginal Ronaldo - the World Cup's greatest goalscorer of all-time

We also met the first of Perez's signings, Portuguese legend Luis Figo - signed from arch-rivals Barcelona for a then record transfer fee of £38.7m.

Icons.com also conducted a signing session with the best attacking full back of his era, Roberto Carlos, scorer of possibly the best free kick of all-time

and World Cup winner in 2002.

And as we were meeting all three of these superstars within a few months of each other we were able to create one of the most unique products we've ever had - a triple-signed Real Madrid Galatico photo.

As we only ever had limited supplies of these products they all sold out extremely quickly so unfortunately we don't have any more of them available.

However in a World Cup year there's always the possibility of new signings with these legends.

And if we were ever able to arrange signings with Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham the people who had signed up to the icons.com newsletter would certainly be the first to know. Watch this space.

Icons.com have also done a number of signing sessions with the two main Real MadridGalacticos from the second coming of Senor Perez - Cristiano Ronaldo...

And Brazilian superstar Kaka.

And after Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005, icons.com also had the pleasure of meeting up with Xavi Alonso, the last of Real's summer signings.

We obviously undertook these signing sessions when they were playing for their old clubs, Manchester United,Liverpool and AC Milan, and as you can imagine we have a good relationship with the players and their representatives so we're working overtime to arrange new signings with them at their new club.

Manchester City are reportedly sending a delegation to AC Milan today in an attempt to secure the signature of Kaka for £103 million.

Rest assured that if Kaka signs for City, Icons will be quick to line up a signing session with the magical Brazilian.

We have already completed two signing sessions with the former World Player of the Year, most recently in October 2007 in Milan. Stock, however, has completely sold out.
