He said: “I feel relieved. I arrive at Real Madrid with a lot of humbleness, it’s the biggest club in the world.
“I want to thank President Florentino Pérez. He trusted me from day one.
“I’m happy. I’m very happy, you can see that smile on my face and a happy player can perform way better. I will play for my dream club. I will be at Real Madrid for at minimum five years.”
Madrid fans will able to see their new reinforcement in action in just under two weeks, when the forward captains France at the Euros.
