Carvalho has Real medical

(GSM) – Ricardo Carvalho set to finalize his move to Real Madrid after undergoing a medical at Santiago Bernabéu.

The Portuguese centre-half arrived to the Spanish capital last night and underwent a physical examination on Thursday morning.

It is believed that Real will pay Chelsea £6.7million in order to bring the 32-year-old center-back to the Spanish capital.

He will become Real’s fifth signing of the summer following the recruits of Sami Khedira, Pedro Leon, Angel di Maria and Serigo Canales.

A statement on the club’s official website read: “Ricardo Carvalho, fifth summer signing for the new season, is now in Madrid.

“The Portuguese centre-back arrived at 0200 this morning (Thursday) at the Mirasierra Suites hotel, where he spent the night.

“Seven hours later the player arrived at Hospital Sanitas La Moraleja where he is now undergoing a medical. After, at 1300, he will take part in a press conference in the press room at the Santiago Bernabeu.”

The move will reunite Carvalho with Real manager Jose Mourinho, with the pair having worked together at both Porto and Chelsea.
