Madrid - Cicinho, who has made his name on the right wing for his club Sao Paulo and Brazil, has signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old, who also has Italian nationality, will join the seven-time European champions next week.
Real's official website, announcing the deal on Friday, confirmed: "The player, one of the major hopes of Brazilian football, will be integrated with the team after the Christmas break at the next training session on December 29."
Real said back in August that they had reached an agreement with Sao Paulo over Cicinho.
