Nacho
Monreal It was the icing on the cake in the transfer market for Real 19/20. The Navarrese arrived for the modest price of 250,000 euros from Arsenal after Robert
Olabe also sign to Remiro, Isak, For your, Odegaard Y Sagnan during the summer. The full-back signed a two-season contract with an optional one that Real itself should execute if it is satisfied with the player's performance. His formal relationship with the Anoeta club ends in June 2021, but as MD has learned, the Iruñea club would be willing to continue one more season defending the txuri urdin shirt.
The times that run, in any case, invite to think that the decision of the Real will not be immediate. Immersed in the longest and atypical season in the club's history, at the Anoeta offices right now they have not stopped to think about how or by whom the Real 21/22 squad will be made up. The coronavirus has hit the accounts of the clubs, especially the big ones that depend solely and exclusively on television rights to survive. La Real has also suffered it, although to a lesser extent – it was forced to propose a salary cut to the players that was accepted by the players. The one of Monreal It is one of the high salaries of the workforce, although prolonging the relationship with the Navarrese and paying their emoluments for one more year should not be a problem for the txuri urdin club.
No contact but no rush
As it is, that first call between La Real and the surroundings of Monreal it has not happened, although neither side is in too much of a rush to close the deal. In any case, if that contact did not take place well into the season, it would be the player's own environment who would dial the telephone number of Anoeta's high authorities to find out first-hand what intentions they have with the player. By the head of MonrealTo date, it only happens to continue one more campaign as txuri urdin. The defender is happy at La Real since he feels at home, he is delighted with Donostia and his native Iruñea is a stone's throw away. With 34 years old in February, Monreal he is living his second youth as a blue and white.
In the best moment
In a little over a season, the Navarrese has already donned the txuri urdin for 40 times. The season started as a shot, being decisive for Real to have only received four goals in the league and was also able to help his team in the scoring section last Sunday. We would not be wrong saying that he has lived the best moments as a realist since he arrived in Zubieta.
Owner and lord of the left wing of Anoeta, he has formed together with Mikel
Oyarzabal one of the most feared companies in LaLiga. His interned on the left, in addition to his precise centers, are being capital for the offensive game in San Sebastian. His hunger to win titles and his competitive gene make him very important to Imanol, that you want to have one more year on your team.
