Kinkladze: £40,000 a week for the Georgian forward
Georgiou Kinkladze has completed his £5m transfer to Dutch champions Ajax from Second Division Manchester City.
The Georgian forward will be in the European Champions Cup with Ajax, who are reportedly paying him about £40,000 a week.
Despite Kinkladze's spectacular goals, City were relegated under coach Joe Royle after finishing second from last in Division One.
It made it a grim finish the season for the city of Manchester because United lost the Premier League title to Arsenal.
"Whenever I have free time I will try to come back and watch Manchester City," Kinkladze said.
"It's a massive club and I hope they can get back where they belong.
"I will miss City's fans. I have thoroughly enjoyed my three years here. I love the fans and the club. I hope they can win Division Two and get back to the top."
