CNN) -- Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Turkish international midfielder Hamit Altintop from Bayern Munich on a four-year contract.

The 28-year-old Altintop joined Bayern from Schalke in 2007, but injuries restricted him to just 63 matches for the Bavarian giants in four years.

Last year, Altintop won the FIFA Puskas Award for his superb volley against Kazakhstan in a Euro 2012 qualifier.

Altintop will join compatriot Nuri Sahin at the Bernabeu for next season, following the 22-year-old's 10 million euros switch from Borussia Dortmund earlier this month.

Speaking about the new signing, assistant coach Aitor Karanka told the official Real Madrid website: "Altintop is an international who comes from a great side, Bayern Munich.

Altintop has sign fot four years of contract with the best time the Real Madrid I think that it was good for the Madrid to buy it because it needs another player to complete the team and I think that with one year of practice with the team he will adapt with it and will be such a good player as all of the team.
