"I've always been hopeful that in the end I would stay at
Real Madrid," said 28-year-old defender Salgado.
"I feel honoured that Chelsea and Manchester United were
interested in signing me, it makes me feel very proud, but I
have now got what I wanted.
"It has been a tense week, but from now on I will be much
more relaxed as I have signed what will be the last long
contract of my career."
