Alvaro Arbeola passed the medical examination that preceded the signing of his contract. The Medical Staff at Sanitas La Moraleja Hospital confirmed the player is in perfect form. Arbeola will sign his five-year contract at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
The player arrived at the hospital at 11:15 am. Many supporters waited for him at the door to greet him and wish him luck in his new professional endeavour. Several members of the media were also present.
The defender underwent tests for approximately 90 minutes. He had blood and urine tests; he was subjected to an electrocardiogram, an ecocardiogram and a megnetic resonance; he underwent a radiological study; and an exploration of his musculoskeletal system was performed.
"He's been subjected to a standard examination," said Dr. Carlos Diez, "The results of every test are very satisfactory. He is delighted about playing for Real Madrid. It's always been his dream. He can't wait to join his team-mates."
