Coentrao in Lisbon for medical

Fabio Coentrao is in Lisbon finalising a loan move to Sporting Lisbon.

The Portuguese full-back has passed a medical with the Lisbon-based side and several photos have leaked showing the defender being ushered around the club's facilities dressed in club gear.

The former Benfica man made just six appearanced for Real Madrid last season due to a combination of injurues and a lack of form and he is set to make the switch to Sporting at the behest of the club's coach, Jorge Jesus, who insisted that his side sign the 29-year-old. 

The deal is as good as done and his arrival is expected to be officially announced shortly.
