Real Madrid have revealed that they have signed Turkish midfielder Nuri Sahin from Borussia Dortmund.

The transfer is thought to be worth around €12 million, with the player signing a six-year contract with los Blancos.

“It’s one of the best clubs in the world and this is a leap in my career,” Sahin told reporters at Signal-Iduna Park.
