The pair flew into Madrid on Thursday morning to put the finishing touches to their switches, after it was confirmed Real had struck deals for the left-sided duo on Wednesday.

Argentina defender Heinze, 29, who arrived in Madrid two hours before Robben, has signed a four-year deal with Real, while 23-year-old Holland winger Robben will be tied to the Spanish giants for the next five seasons.

The two players undertook their medicals with the Spanish champions and, after putting pen to paper on their new contracts, were unveiled in front of fans and media at the club's Bernabeu stadium on Thursday evening.

No fee has been confirmed for the duo, but reports in the Spanish media suggest the double swoop could cost Real almost 50million euros (£34million) in total.

The arrival of Robben and Heinze takes the number of new signings at Real this summer to eight, with Christoph Metzelder, Pepe, Javier Saviola, Jerzy Dudek, Royston Drenthe and Wesley Sneijder already being drafted in.

Real begin the defence of their Primera Liga title on Saturday when Bernd Schuster's side host local rivals Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu.
