confirmed the capture of the Spain
Under-21 international from Real
Sociedad, with the midfielder
penning a six-year deal
Real Madrid have announced they have
secured the services of Asier Illarramendi
from Real Sociedad for a fee believed to
be in the region of €30 million.
Both clubs had been in talks over a
transfer for a number of weeks, with la
Real's insistence that Madrid met the 23-
year-old's €30m buy-out clause initially
holding up the deal.
However, los Blancos have confirmed on
their official website that the deal has
been brokered and Illarramendi will sign a
six-year deal with the Santiago Bernabeu
side upon completion of his medical on
Saturday.
"Real Madrid C. F. has hired Asier
Illarramendi, who will now be with the
club for the next six seasons. The player
will be presented tomorrow - Saturday,
July 13, at 13:00pm in the Royal Box at
Santiago Bernabeu stadium, after
undergoing the relevant medical
examination."
Illarramendi is a product of the Sociedad
youth academy and had developed into a
key player at the Basque side since
making his official first-team debut in June
2010.
The midfielder was an integral part of the
Spain Under-21 squad that were crowned
European champions in Israel this
summer.
Illarramendi becomes Real Madrid's
fourth signing of the summer transfer
window after the previous capture of
Casemiro, Isco and Daniel Carvajal.
