Carlos Vela signs four-year contract with Real Sociedadby Heath Chesters | Posted on Sunday, June 22nd, 2014
Carlos Vela has committed his future to Real Sociedad, after the Basque club agreed to pay Arsenal ?11 million for the remaining 50% of his playing rights, that they retained, plus ?5 million in additional variables. Mexican forward Carlos Vela will remain at Anoeta, at the very least, until June 2018.
Though it had seemed that Arsenal were keen to take him back, quite the opposite has transpired and Real Sociedad will retain his services for four more years,
having
agreed to pay the London club ?11 million for the 50% rights they retained, plus a reported additional sum of ?5 million in variables,
based upon future objectives achieved.
The new contract also includes a minimum release clause valuation of ?30 million. The most crucial part of the complex negotiations that have been taking place over the last month,
has been the willingness of Carlos Vela to remain in La Liga and with Real Sociedad, where he feels completely settled and is enjoying his key role in the side.
A second consecutive season competing in Europe, has also been a decisive factor for the player.
French forward
Antoine Griezmann had also revealed the agreement, during a press conference with his national team,
explaining that Carlos Vela “is calm, he’s already signed with La Real and he seems happy with that.”http://www.insidespanishfootball.com/113328/carlos-vela-signs-four-year-contract-with-real-sociedad/
