Isak, whose actions in the Eurocup caused some impact worldwide despite not scoring, it remains in Real, after initiating its renewal yesterday in Stockholm for two more seasons, until 2026. The termination clause goes from 70 to 90 million euros, and it is already the most high in the squad and in the history of the entity, and its record is among the highest in the squad.

Oyarzabal, Mikel
Merino Y David

A strategic operation
It is a strategic operation of great significance because the performance of the 21-year-old Swedish striker in these two seasons and in the four games of the Eurocup It had aroused the interest of several large teams in Europe, who, through intermediaries, had contacted the Real to find out the situation of the footballer and the availability of the club to transfer him. However, the unshakable will to stay of a player who had been interested in teams like him has weighed heavily. Chelsea, champion from Europe, the Arsenal or the Real
Madrid and before, the Rome of Mourinho and the same Barcelona.
The agreement was almost a fact before the Eurocup, as it has been informing promptly MD, but it has closed in the last few hours, with the trip to Stockholm from Jokin
Aperribay, president of the Royal, and of Robert
Olabe, soccer director. There were still aspects to negotiate and close with the footballer and with him Borussia
Dortmund, with whose representatives the president was also summoned yesterday. However, for two weeks the agreement with the German club to cancel the 30 million euro buyback option, executable this summer and the following, was a fact. La Real had to pay four more “kilos” to the Teutons, in addition to the 6.5 paid two years ago for a total of 10.5. In any case, a brilliant operation by the Royal.
Isak dazzled with his performances especially in his first two games of the Eurocup, in view of Spain Y Slovakia, game in which he was decorated with the award for ‘Man of the match’. His participation in the continental tournament ended last Monday after being lowered Sweden

The message of Isak After its extension until 2026, it is music to the ears of a hobby that has adored him since they saw him in his first friendlies two years ago and that even coined a very popular song for months, only silenced by the pandemic: 'Oé, oé , oé, oéééé, Isak, Isak '. Heard it in the Bernabeu, on Miranda and a few times in Anoeta, until the coronavirus emptied stadiums.
