MADRID, July 5 -- Real Madrid this Tuesday confirmed the signing of left back Fabio Coentrao from Portuguese side Benfica.

Coentrao, whom Madrid have been tracking for several months, has agreed a six-year contract and moves to Spain in a deal that is worth around 30 million Euros.

Real Madrid will pay Benfica 20 million Euros in cash, while the remaining 10 million will be made up by the transfer of Argentinean central defender Ezequiel Garay to the Portuguese club.
