Carlos Fernández, the fourth most expensive signing of Real

The bet that Real Sociedad makes for Charles
Fernandez In times of uncertainty due to the pandemic, it is solid and reveals the enormous confidence that those responsible for the club have in its possibilities. And not only for the duration of the contract, until 2027, therefore for six and a half seasons, but also for the amount of money that the Gipuzkoan entity has to pay, unusual in this situation of scarcity and with very few precedents in the history of the club txuri urdin. In fact, the 24-year-old from Guzmareño has become the fourth most expensive signing of the centenary of the Real. It is the position in which they place the 10 million euros plus two in variables that Real has agreed to pay to Sevilla, which reserves 20% of the capital gain of a future option.

La Real only had to pay a greater amount of money to hire Asier
Illarramendi (16.5 million), to Charles
Candle (14) and to Mikel
Merino (12). In the first case, the operation was justified by the fact that only two years ago, the txuri urdin club had received just twice that of Real Madrid for the sale of the mutrikuarra. That play did not go wrong. With regard to the Mexican crack, Real, after paying an initial three million euros to Arsenal for a star that shone with its own light in Anoeta, found itself in the position of having to decide whether to stay with him by taking 11 million more or leave him go out. He opted for the former, although the Maya had already left the best of his repertoire in the green of Donostia. Talking about MerinoIt is one of the most successful operations in recent times in Anoeta. After failing in the attempt to hunt him down the previous summer, the 12-kilo offers convinced Newcastle's magpies and the Navarrese midfielder declined Athletic's offer to land in Donostia. After the last revision, its current value amounts to 40 million euros, according to 'Transfermark'. During this winter market, its clause is 65 ‘kilos’, although later it will drop again to 60.

Carlos Fernández costs Real the same as For your a year and a half ago, with two differences: the Sevillian arrives three years younger and his transfer contract also includes two million more in variables. The other footballers for whom the Real had to make a greater disbursement were Alfred
Finnbogasson (7.5 million), Adnan
Januzaj (7.4 million), Jonathas (7), Rulli (7) and Darko
Kovacevic (6.5 million).
