• Carvalho signs two-year contract, with option for third
• Defender was coached by Mourinho at Porto and Chelsea
Real Madrid have a agreed a deal with Chelsea to sign Ricardo Carvalho for €8m (£6.6m), reuniting the Portuguese defender with José Mourinho, who coached him at Porto and brought him to Stamford Bridge in 2005.
Carvalho is understood to have signed a two-year contract with an option for a third year. Mourinho had insisted that he needed an additional defender when Madrid returned from their pre-season tour in the United States on Monday.
Internazionale’s resistance to a bid for Maicon forced Madrid to look elsewhere. Mourinho also admitted at the weekend that he had given up any hopes he had of signing Ashley Cole following Carlo Ancelotti’s refusal to countenance a sale.
The Italian has been more receptive to the departure of the 32-year-old. Carvalho had already expressed a desire to leave Chelsea to work with Mourinho at Inter last summer. This summer he has got his wish – albeit at a different club.
