The former-Real Madrid stopper had already trained with Porto on Monday. Despite the fact that his contract expired at the end of June, there was an option to extend it by another year. 

The 25-year-old crossed the border from Spain in 2015, and played 33 times for Porto in the league last season, as well as a further eight matches in the Champions League.
