Monaco have completed the signing of experienced Portuguese defender Ricardo Carvalho.
The 35-year-old centre-back was out of contract following the expiry of his deal with Real Madrid and has chosen to make the switch to the principality outfit.
Carvalho has penned a deal for one year, with an option to increase that for a further year if both parties are happy.
And the former Chelsea stopper is delighted to join the newly-promoted Ligue 1 side.

"I’m very happy to join AS Monaco FC and to be part of the new adventure", he told his new club’s official site.
"This is a new challenge for me."
Carvalho lands within days of Monaco completing an impressive double raid on FC Porto for James Rodriguez and Joao Moutinho.
The 2004 Champions League finalists have also been strongly linked with Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes and Atletico Madrid marksman Radamel Falcao.
