Rafinha, on loan to Real

Rafinha Alcantara For all intents and purposes, he is already a Real Sociedad player. The txuri urdin club has made official the transfer of the Brazilian midfielder by Paris Saint Germain until the end of the season without including a purchase option in his contract. La Real takes over part of the file corresponding to this half-year loan.

The player passed the mandatory medical examination in the morning, which he attended accompanied by Roberto Olabe Y Erik Bretos and later he went to the club offices with his representative and little boy, his father, to sign the new contract.

It will be this Tuesday when the player, who gave negative in the covid detection test, will be presented (10.00 a.m.) before joining the group and carrying out the first training session with his new teammates, although he will not be able to debut on day 2 before the Alavés since LaLiga does not allow the incorporation of winter signings until a day later, so it will be on day 5, against Leganés, when Rafinha can make his debut as txuri urdin.

As a curiosity, note that the player will wear the number 17 on his shirt and that his name will be ‘Rafael’ and not ‘Rafinha’.
