Bombshell at Real Sociedad: David Silva signs for the next two seasons. The San Sebastian club has made official late on Monday what may be one of the signings of the summer. The Canarian midfielder, who was free after ending his contract with Manchester City, has committed to the txuri-urdin club until 2022, when all the information pointed to a future in Lazio or in Qatari football. But the realistic Football Director, Roberto Olabe, has moved quickly in this difficult market, and has managed to brilliantly fill the important gap left by Martin Ødegaard's return to Real Madrid.

This is how the Royal Society has made the hiring of David Silva official. “Real Sociedad has reached an agreement with David Silva for the canarian footballer to play for the txuri urdin team for the next two seasons, until June 30, 2022. The player, who arrives free after passing through Manchester City, will join the preseason of the realistic team in the near future. “

David Silva will wear number 21 at Real Sociedad, precisely the number that Martin Ødegaard frees with his sudden and unexpected return to Real Madrid. This contingency forced the San Sebastian club to move quickly in the transfer market to cover a very important loss and that caught the sports management with a changed foot, because the Norwegian player, among other things, had already taken his plane ticket back to San Sebastián to start the preseason in Zubieta on August 14. The announcement of De Silva's departure from Manchester City made Real Sociedad move quickly in the hope that the canary would be the replacement for the Norwegian in the midfielder of Imanol Alguacil's team. It seemed they were late, because their agent had already negotiated with Lazio for his signing for the Italian team; but the San Sebastian club has moved quickly in the offices to close an express agreement with Silva so that he can play again in Gipuzkoa.

As AS has learned, the contacts began just after knowing the return of Odegaard to Madrid. Then, the Real felt the playmaker, who I looked forward to returning to Spain after leaving City. It was last week when the first offer came. Silva pushed back the option of Lazio, which had lost steam after not agreeing in the negotiations, and also the offers of Qatar, when he was closer to accepting, to participate in a European project and put himself under the command of Imanol Alguacil.

Remember that he already played in the Second Division at Eibar with Jose Luis Mendilibar, in a season that allowed him to enter the elite through the front door with the Celta Vigo and in which he was very close to being promoted to the First Division. His arrival becomes official right after Silva has said goodbye to the Manchester City fans, where he has made history playing the last ten years at a spectacular level, to the point of being his foreigner with the most games in the history of the Premier League with the citizen squad, which has already announced that he is even going to dedicate a sculpture to him as a tribute and memory .
