Confirmed: Illarra back to La Real

Real Sociedad and Real Madrid have confirmed the transfer of Asier Illarramendi back to Anoeta on a six-year contract.

Illarra left La Real for Madrid two years ago in a €30m transfer but fell down the pecking order this summer following the arrival of Mateo Kovacic, with Casemiro also brought back from Porto.

Competition also from Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Isco and James Rodriguez saw Illarra’s appearances limited.

La Real have confirmed he will wear the No 4 shirt on his return and intend to present the 25-year-old on Wednesday evening.

Neither club has confirmed a fee but earlier reports had put it around the €17m mark.
