On Friday, Madrid's "Real" club officially announced the acquisition of "Real Sociedad" midfielder Asier Illarramendi.
The 23-year-old midfielder became the fourth purchase of the royal club this summer. This summer, under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, the team has already acquired midfielders Isco and Casemiro, as well as defender Carvajal.
The capital team decided to strengthen the position of the central midfielder after Xabi Alonso suffered an injury.
A.Illarramendi, together with the Spanish U21 national team, triumphed in the European Championship in Israel. The midfielder's performances attracted the attention of several clubs.
The negotiations between these clubs lasted for several weeks. Madrid's "Real" club will pay 32 million euros, and the player himself will sign a six-year contract.
A product of the "Real Sociedad" academy, Illarramendi has played a total of 53 matches in the main team.
