Eurosport - Mon, 06 Jul 21:55:00 2009

Cristiano Ronaldo has successfully completed his medical with Real Madrid.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 La Liga Real Madrid Ronaldo NO PUBLICATION IN ITA AND FRA - 0

Ronaldo landed at Madrid airport just after midday on Monday before heading to the Hospital Sanitas La Moraleja for his medical as he puts the finishing touches on his world-record £80 million move from Manchester United.

The 24-year-old has agreed a six-year contract with Madrid.

Carlos Diez, Real Madrid's medical chief, told the club's website: "(Ronaldo) is in perfect condition and very eager to start the season as soon as possible."

Ronaldo, the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year, will be the third new signing presented by Madrid since Florentino Perez returned to the club presidency at the start of June.

Brazil star Kaka, who cost a reported £56m from Milan, was unveiled in front of around 55,000 people at the Bernabeu last Tuesday while Spain international Raul Albiol was presented on Thursday following his move from Valencia.

Madrid have also agreed a deal with Lyon for their striker Karim Benzema for an initial fee of £30m, a transfer that takes the Spanish giants' summer spending close to the £200m mark.

  1. Jaytayo - Messi IS better...the Champs league final­ proved thos conclusively....where's your evidence­ that Ronaldo is the better of the two....Messi also has­ more humility, and doesn't fancy himself rotten. If­ Ronaldo could s**g himself he would.

  19. Why did you have to go you could of had it all. I hope­ he has a fantastic season and hopefully Kaka influences­ him to have humility but I believe he will do well and­ those who say Messi is better I hope he makes those­ critics eat their own words. Remember he has something­ to prove now and he will want to do that. Good Luck­ Ronaldo but not when you are playing against Manchester­ United.

  20. Can't wait for the start of the season and all the­ dressing room unrest at real Madrid that will be­ created by Ronaldo. By all accounts, Kaka is a­ thoroughly decent chap.....aside from his stunning­ talent as a footballer. Ronaldo is a spoilt and pompous­ little twonk. Please....please...please....United draw­ Real madrid in the Champions League and absolutely­ stuff them! I'm a City fan, but I would be­ soooooooo happy to see United win it from under the­ noses of Real Madrid.
