Xabi Alonso has finally completely his dream move to Real Mardrid,
Real Madrid finally ended the longest summer transfer saga with the capture of midfielder.
Reds manager Rafa Benitez had been extremely reluctant to part with the player, whose possible exit has been talked about almost since the last ball was kicked at the end of last season.
Alonso then underwent various tests and is expected to link up with his new team-mates at an afternoon training session.
Real’s general director Jorge Valdano is delighted to have signed the Spain international but insists there will be no more new faces at the Bernabeu.
“Xabi was a very important piece,” he told Cadena Ser. “I’m delighted that what started six years ago has been completed now.
“He will immediately join the group and tomorrow he will talk to (coach Manuel) Pellegrini to see if he will go with the rest of the team to the USA.
“This is a special season, we had to do unprecedented things.
“With Xabi we have closed the chapter of signings. Now we have to work on the exits of professionals who won’t be here next season.”
