Dudek to complete Real switch

Last updated : 16 July 2007 By Al Campbell
The former Liverpool goalkeeper and European Cup hero will today finalise a free transfer to the Spanish champions.

"On Sunday or Monday I will fly to Spain to pass medicals. "On the same day I will sign a contract and will be presented as a new Real player. I hope so and I am really happy with this," said Dudek.

"The offer from Real overshadowed all the others. I was considering a return to Feyenoord, Jacek Krzynowek was encouraging me to join him at Wolfsburg, an interesting offer from a respected newly promoted Premiership club appeared and I was also thinking of moving to Portugal.

"However, when Real showed interest I was very proud and did not think long."
