The outcome will be the same, except for one unexpected event. Robin Le Normand He will wear the shirt of Atlético de Madrid, although the message sent by the various actors participating in the operation is very different. The entourage of the footballer, who insists on closing the transfer as soon as possible, continues to reveal that the agreement is complete even between the clubs and the only thing missing is the official seal to consider the Breton mattress player. However, Anoeta maintains that there is no specific agreement with the mattress entity, that it still needs to be discussed and, of course, there is no rush to carry out this transfer.
Meetings at the highest level
The specific agreement between the footballer and Atlético is a fact and it is at the expense of materializing after the white smoke between the clubs. There were meetings at the highest level between Atlético de Madrid and Real Sociedad, but the San Sebastian club did not complete the negotiations. The end will come, in any case, in the month of July, so that it can be counted in the next season, as it has been done on other occasions. In Anoeta they do not believe that any other candidate will sign Le Normand at this moment, perhaps because his decision to be athletic has already been made. The fact of being a team that has qualified for the Champions League for more than 10 consecutive seasons is what convinced the footballer.
Le Normand said nothing
The player’s agents who, a month and a half before the end of LaLiga, conveyed to Real the player’s determination to land in the Metropolitano. however, Le Normand, always grateful for what the Gipuzkoan club did to him, did not personally communicate his plans and interests to any of the Txuri Urdin officials. However, his last interventions from Germany felt like a farewell, as he has been talking about Real for the past time.
More money
The latest information from Madrid points to an agreement worth 30 million euros. This is a value that will not be digested well in Gipuzkoa. Sources from Real told MD Gipuzkoa that the Txuri Urdin club rejected a slightly higher in terms of fixed assets and variables. When Colchonero’s interest in the footballer appeared, Real accepted a transfer, as long as it reached the limit of 40 million euros, which is already 20 million less than what his termination clause says. It is understood that they will try to get the final settlement close to that figure, even if it includes variables.
A renewal that was not even considered
Under normal conditions, Real, at this point, would have extended the contract Le Normand or arrange to do so. It will expire in 2026. However, that point was not raised. Is the transfer plan established or the result of the player’s desire?
