Real Madrid sporting director Jorge Valdano says new signing David Beckham will improve the club on and off the pitch.
The Spanish giants have agreed a £24.5m deal with Manchester United to sign the England captain, who is currently on a promotional tour of the Far East.
Should he pass a routine medical, Beckham will formally complete his move to the Bernabeu on 2 July.
Valdano hailed the signing of Beckham at a news conference on Wednesday, saying: "As a club, we will have a better presence and image. His move will make us a better team.
"He is a great professional, he loves football and he dedicates himself to his profession exclusively.
We demand 50% of our players' image rights... all our other players have followed this policy
"We were never nervous about not getting him - he was always interested."
As part of his deal with Real, Beckham has agreed to hand over 50% of all future sponsorship contracts for products he might agree to endorse.
"In the case of Beckham it was more complicated because his potential image is very impressive," said Valdano.
"But this agreement marks his wish to come to Real Madrid, even if it means losing money."
Valdano also confirmed Beckham will not be given his usual number seven shirt - currently worn by striker Raul.
"Beckham will follow the norms at Real Madrid and wear a free number between one and 25," said Valdano.
"All the players who have come here in recent years have done the same, choosing one of the numbers that has become free."
I'm sure he'll be well received and he'll settle into the squad well
The England captain may also have to be content with being second to Brazilian Roberto Carlos in the queue to take Real's free-kicks.
"I'll let him take some of them - but only some," Carlos joked.
"He's scored some beautiful goals from free kicks but he doesn't have to take all of them."
Carlos added: "Our president Florentino Perez has shown he can sign the biggest players.
"Beckham is part of that group and in Real Madrid you can never have too many good players.
"I'm sure he'll be well received and he'll settle into the squad well."
Coach Vicente Del Bosque earlier said of Beckham's arrival: "The acquisition of Beckham is in keeping with the philosophy of our president Florentino Perez since he arrived here.
"He's a football icon and a great player. He's a player that is not limited to one particular part of the field. He's a midfielder that can play in different positions."
Following Beckham's signature, there is speculation Luis Figo, one of several big-name midfielders at Real, may be the man to make way, with Inter Milan among those linked with the Portuguese star.
But Valdano insisted: "Figo is one of the most important and best players we have."

Victoria Beckham has denied she colluded with top paparazzi photographer Jason Fraser to supply photos of herself and her husband, England football captain David Beckham, to the tabloids.
Going head to head with Piers Morgan in the first of his new BBC1 series, Tabloid Tales, the Daily Mirror editor suggested that Fraser "always seems to be in the right place at the right time," raising questions as to where he gets his information from.
In the programme Andrew Morton, who made millions from his biography of Princess Diana before later writing a controversial biography on the Beckhams, also claimed that Fraser was effectively their "court photographer".
"It looks as though they're snatched pictures, that they're taken off-guard, off duty, when all along those pictures where rehearsed and pre-arranged", he claimed.
Real Madrid - David Beckham - castles of scotland
But both Victoria Beckham and Fraser denied any collusion between the two. Fraser has snapped the Beckhams on dozens of occasions, most famously when took pictures of the couple's new haircuts.
"Occasionally what I have done in the past if I am walking out of a shop or a restaurant and there is a photographer there, sometimes I say 'hang on, let me put the kids in the car', because at the end of the day I want to know my children are safe," she Ms Beckham said.
"I'll put the children in the car and then I might say, 'OK if you let me do that and you don't take photographs of the boys I will go back and I will come out again and you can take pictures of me on my own'," she added.
Morton recalled how, on the day David Beckham got a new stunt haircut and his wife went for a blonde look, they evaded the photographers outside their home and instead met Fraser.
Fraser said he gets paparazzo tip-offs from a variety of sources, including celebrities themselves - but he would not be drawn on his specific relationship with the Beckhams.
Joe Sene, the former picture editor of OK! magazine, reckons photographs of the Beckhams are "easy sales", but claimed he had never received a tip-off from them as to their whereabouts.
"We know that pictures of Victoria will sell, we can sell pictures of Victoria Beckham and week in week out, it's easy sales," said Sene.
"We had an exclusive set of pictures of David strolling on the beach with Brooklyn in the morning before they left Barbados, well into five figures, closer to six figures, and it's not the first time we've sold pictures of the Beckhams for that sort of amount of money," he added,
In the interview Mrs Beckham also revealed how life imitated art imitating life, revealing how her hairdresser calls her Beaujolais - a reference to the shallow model character, TV cult hit Footballers' Wives who is called Chardonnay.
