Karim Benzema was unveiled as a Real Madrid player on Thursday after completing his €35 million move from Olympique Lyon.
Earlier in the day, the 21-year-old passed all of his medical tests and was declared fit to play.
The France striker's six-year contract has taken Real's spending to more than €200 million this summer.
"I'm absolutely delighted to become a Real Madrid player, the best club in the world," said Benzema, who has not yet been given a shirt number.
"I'm delighted to be able to play for the same club as two of my idols played for, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo.
"I don't want to promise a set number of goals, although I hope to score a lot. With players like Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raúl it will be very easy for us to get goals.
"I'm aware that there is great competition at the club and maybe I cannot always play, but I've come here to fight, so it's not going to be a problem."
